ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Are chicken coops the next battleground in the war on terror? Poultry growers are protesting proposed regulations from the Department of Homeland Security that would label propane gas a "chemical of interest" and require anybody with 7,500 pounds or more of the fuel to register with the agency.

At that amount, poultry farmers who use propane to heat chicken houses would have to fill out the forms.

(Apologies to Bob Dylan for the headline.)
