| Feds Advise Public To Store Supplies, Then Labels Those Who Do As Suspects |
| 2011-08-17 |
| The FBI wants to know about people who purchase "in bulk" things like Meals, Ready to Eat (MREs), waterproof containers for ammunition or matches, shooting accessories, etc., especially if the purchaser insists on paying in cash. Strangely, though, at least two branches of the federal government advise citizens to have some of these things on hand, in case of a broad range of emergencies. Ironically, both the CDC [Centers for Disease Control] and DHS [Department of Homeland Security] both say it's a good idea to have most of that stuff on hand. The lists call for "non-perishable" food--at least a three-day supply for each person. Granted, they don't specify MREs, but those are certainly a logical choice of non-perishable food. Also, the FBI doesn't seem to specify what constitutes a "bulk" purchase (but remember that the new requirement to report the sale of two rifles is presented as a way of tracking "bulk" purchases of firearms). A family of four, eating three meals per day, would need 12 meals to meet CDC's and DHS's minimum suggestion for food--sounds like "bulk," doesn't it? The CDC and DHS lists both mention matches, with DHS specifically mentioning waterproof storage for them. Ammunition cans are popular as waterproof storage for all manner of things (like first aid kits) that one would like to be able to keep dry during an emergency. So why is the federal government advising people to conduct themselves in a manner likely to draw scrutiny as a "suspected terrorist?" Maybe they're just looking for new ways to populate DHS's massive new database of American citizens who need to be kept under Big Brother's watchful eye. Not incidentally, this could also add a bunch of names to a list that some propose should be used as the basis to deny firearms purchases, without a conviction, without an indictment, without even an arrest or formal charge. |

| #2 Because they are of a protected race/religion. To investigate them for actual crimes would be Islamophobic and racist. |
