The Homeland Security Act does not regulate employment relationships at facilities like chemical plants, a New York federal judge has ruled in a case of first impression. Independent Chemical Corp. argued that the act barred it from continuing to employ a man who had been indicted for attempted murder of his common-law wife. But the judge said the restrictions on distributing explosive materials to individuals under indictment did not apply, as the employee's job merely required him to handle the chemicals.
