Pseudoephedrine

I really find it quite annoying that I have to provide a drivers license and sign for 16 Liqui-Gels of Advil Cold & Sinus because a key ingredient is used to make methamphetamine. Perhaps if I was buying in bulk I could see it but is it really necessary for one little box? I mean it's not like meth labs are gonna go store to store to buy enough pseudoephedrine 16 pills at a time. That is all... please carry on.
