Ah, no...
The problem is not so much that which is listed is the
various manuals, regulations, and texts that you mention, but with the
interpretations they somehow demonstrate a great and grand
government conspiracy.
There is sufficient probelms with government corruption that can be
shown in explicit examples, documentation, and evidence without trying
to take unrelated references and trying to weave it into a grand
conspiracy.
For example, some people talk breathlessly about Area 51, HAARP, black
FEMA helicopters and
American concentrations camps may provide loads of airtime to well
known cranks and crack pots, but when some actually starts digging into
the "proof" provided the whole legend starts falling apart.
Yes, FEMA
does have helicopters (ridden in them), huge underground command and
control facilities (been in many of them), and sure enough they do have
huge expansive locations designations as resettlement areas (where do
you think they parked the mobile homes after Katrina?), they even have
huge... and I mean HUGE networks of cave and tunnels (that I have been
in) where they warehouse pretty much anything that could be needed in a
massive scale disaster. They even have (gasp) rooms full of
pornographic magazines, adult videos, books, posters, toys, intimate
supplies, and so on to ensure that people have suitable stimulation
after a disaster in order to reproduce (well, ok they also have the
same stuff down in the missile silos for other reasons... but either
way it helps to break up the boredom from doomsday).
There are in fact huge numbers of highways they can be used for
evacuations, large stocks of supplies pre-positioned, warehouses full
of both food (eaten some of it) and body bags (zipped corpses up in
them), and semi trucks (driven some) that sit 24 hours a day with hot
engines (burned hand on same) ready to roll out in a convoy in mere
minutes.
There is also some fairly impressive corruption (seen it) that exists
when there is a huge budget (show me the money) and resources ($8.75
per sheet engraved letter head), and very often the least trained (3
day course), politically connected (show me the money) lackey leading
the organization (i.e.: how many horse shows do you need to judge to be
able to mobilize the evacuation of a major city that is being
destroyed).
Corruptions tends to start with one bad person, engaging is one bad act
and getting others to join in. Then they get the people who did bad
things to cover for them and protect the organization. This leads to
the proverbial single bad apple making the whole bushel rot where the
corruption started with one person, and pretty the corruption becomes
widespread and part of the organizational behavior.
Pay less attention to the black helicopters, and more attention to the
black budgets. Concern yourself less with martial law, and more with
civil procedure. If someone is concerned about... and I mean really
concerned about their freedom and how justice can be so perverted, then
register your concern when you vote... vigorously
question your political leaders, and aggressively hold them responsible
for both their promises and their actions.
But please, please, please... do not imagine a conspiracy based
imagined "federalization powers", but rather pay closer attention to
slow eroding of civil rights over many years, of public servants
breaking the laws and not being held accountable, and of the judiciary
looking the other way when it is politically expedient for them to do
so.
Look towards how the NYPD defecated all over the civil rights laws for
weeks before and after the RNC, and how the prosecutors office in NYC
corrupted anything resembling a legal system (and who have never been
held accountable) in the name of good politics. Thousands, and
thousands of people were arrested (illegally), never given a trial,
never given a hearing, never appeared before a court, never allowed to
post bail, and never had any
recourse merely because they were coming out of a coffee shop just as
police were using sections of fencing to scoop up people illegally.
Some of these people had the living hell beat out of them (some on the
Navy brig ships), and yet nobody was actually held responsible.
It is a fallacy to think that we live in a free country... True, we do
get to vote, and true we do get certain freedoms, but many of the
things that are "guaranteed" by law are not actually provided, or are
so eroded that they are worthless. The next time you try to fly
somewhere, refuse to be searched and see what happens, or try to get a
cell phone or utilities set up without coughing up a social security
number, or show up near a federal building, and start taking
photographs and watch how fast you rights start to disappear. For that
matter, watch what happened when you go to the airport and start taking
pictures of the security checkpoints, or pictures of bridges in NYC,
and so on.
I heard a report on public radio last week where they were able to dig
up deeply hidden records form the FBI that show that the bureau
performed over 8 million wiretaps in 2009 with one carrier alone, but
actually had less then 2000 actual court orders. This means that for
every legal wiretap there was 4000 illegal intercepts or wiretaps by
the FBI.
There is a very definite line between what is a real conspiracy, and
that which is a fantasy conspiracy... take care not to confuse the two.
There is plenty of illegal bugging, wiretapping, and breaking the law
by federal law enforcement people, but beware of anything other then
hard numbers and specific actions that prove out specific illegal
activities.
Worry less about macro level corruption, and more about micro level
corruption.
It always starts with a single bad apple, and grows to the bushel, and
then to the orchard... and rarely the other way around.
Also, please do not troll the list... but along those same lines, all
are welcome to speak on the list, and all opinions and voices are
genuinely valued. Just remember that the topic of the list is TSCM, and
issues related to TSCM.

Furthermore, a review of these provide for arrest power to those who
guard water supplied, arrest power for those who guard national
cemeteries, and arrest power to certified law enforcement officers. I
don't find any of these to be very conspiratorial nor to they provide
any evidence whatsoever of your theory of a metamorphosis of all
federal employees into federal agents.
There are enough real "bogeymen" lurking around the corner. No need
for me to invent more.

You need to read the whole post.
Regardless of where we might have stood on the
issue of federalization, we all agreed that screening would not improve
if the job status of screeners were not improved-through better pay,
better benefits, and real job protections. Ultimately, there is no
other way to recruit the best employees and to keep them on the job.
