Meth contaminated homes

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/14/us/14meth.html?_r=1&hp "The former owner had marked “no” on a disclosure form asking whether the house had ever been a meth lab, Ms. Rodriguez said. But because he is now in prison for meth possession, among other things, the Rodriguezes decided there was nothing to gain by suing him. They moved out, throwing away most of their possessions because they could not be cleaned, and are letting the house go into foreclosure." the disclosure reminds me of the form that asks people in the airport whether they are terrorists. come on! shouldn't these homes be destroyed for good instead of going into foreclosure without any type of warning to the unlucky bag holders?
