Making ammonia in your exhaust is that like going from R12 to134A and a warning on the can that this stuff will kill anything big enough to die.

If the system is working properly, ammonia will never be released to the atmosphere. The by-product of this technology is nitrogen gas and water.

I hate to say it, but if this compound is publicly, easily, and readily available, there's gonna be some Evil Do'er (thanks GWB
) that will use it for ill intentions.
So eventually, You'll have to have some kind of security clearance, monitoring system, or other regulation to buy it?

It's already available out there. Not exactly the same thing, but all the components are available and very easy to get your hands on. Rather or not someone could fashion it into a bad thing will depend on their knowledge, but that's the case really no matter what your talking about.

If there's a failure in the system, or urea levels get too low, the ECM will reduce engine power (as a "punishment" to the driver, I've been told), to keep the engine within limits. If the operator continues operation, with the failure still present, the engine will simply refuse to start, or shut down.
Mandated by the EPA for 2010.

Simple. Two ways: 1) severely reduced engine power. 2) complete engine shutdown.
If there's a failure in the system, or urea levels get too low, the ECM will reduce engine power (as a "punishment" to the driver, I've been told), to keep the engine within limits. If the operator continues operation, with the failure still present, the engine will simply refuse to start, or shut down.

Blaine is correct. There will be driver "inducement" features that are part of OBDII.

About the only ill intention you could do with it is paint obscenities in your neighbors yard with it. It will kill grass like Roundup at 32.5% concentration. Dilute it and it will grow grass like crazy!
