Why is this prime piece of real estate not locked down like Fort knox?

And apparently the plant owners forgot to file with the federal government this little fact
Uh, it's a fertilizer plant, ammonium nitrate is just one of the ingredients, and no, it's not a "high explosive", there was just a lot of it, because, well, it's a fertilizer plant -_-;;

The problem is that plants like these shouldn't be located right next to schools or apartment buildings etc.

the explosion was caused by a fire (which is why many of the dead are firefighters and first responders), they don't know yet how the fire started.
