    From what source are you hearing this? Basically, the military is prohibited from being used to enforce US civil law within the borders of the US by the Posse Comitatus Act.

    Course, the .gov is prohibited by law from doing lots of things. That doesn't always stop the people running it, though.

    I haven't heard anything about it. I don't think it's happening or is going to happen.

    I for one would refuse to participate.

    But I might be able to be bought with neat new guns and gear.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    Security contractors have been operating in the US for decades. We call them rent-a-cops. The military (in the form of the NG) has also done quite a bit.

    As far as the likely hood of seeing a squad of Marines in MRAPs patrollin US cities?.... I guess I'd buy it if you told me it was Detroit.

    I've heard that there is some training going on, with regards to "containing the population of large cities to those large cities" in the event of some sort of SHTF scenario. Don't know how much credibility I'd give it, but I've heard it.

    I'm sure just as a stewardess trains for a water landing and using the flotation device.. the chance of her ever doing it are rare.
