Yes I'm aware of the issue. But I wonder if many police and even
military would go along with martial law. I do note that my city
recently gave early retirement to a number of cops who might of course
use greater discretion than young ones when it comes to questionable
laws and things like "martial law." I even think that some of the TSA
people I encountered on my recent air travel think a lot of thier work
is a joke. And they could also manufacture a pandemic too but probably
won't for fear it would kill the wrong end of the economic spectrum and
then wouldn't there be hell to pay? :)
