It makes you wonder:

1) are they doing this just because they can? (A Forbes article I read about the DHS accumulating 1.6 billion rounds speculates that it is only because they have the ability to do so, and not a more nefarious plan)
or
2) Are they doing all this surveilence as part of a planned and orchestrated lockdown?

I frankly think the latter, because the economy is only being held afloat by trillions in Quantitative Easing, and they are preparing for the inevitable chaos when the system collapses.
