The Militarization of a civilian force goes on. One of Obama's pledges back in 2008 was to create a civilian force egual to the existing military forces of the United States. Here's a piece of his plan that's happening right now.

For the next five years, the TSA will be given 4.8 million rounds of .357 “duty ammunition” each year, totaling 24,000,000 rounds over the life of the contract.

The TSA has already pushed controversial programs like x-ray body scanners that produced accurate images of a person’s naked body… and now it looks like they’re going to follow through on their threat to arm agents as they’ve discussed in the past.

As Infowars noted:


Although Federal Air Marshals acting under the jurisdiction of the TSA are currently armed, other indications, such as the hiring of shooting ranges near airports, suggest the federal government could be preparing to arm some TSA workers. There are only 4,000 Federal Air Marshals currently operating in the United States, a figure that doesn’t appear to match with the 4.8 million rounds a year the TSA is set to purchase under this solicitation alone.

The armament of the TSA appears to be yet another brick in the wall of tyranny as the government continues to transform the American republic into a totalitarian police state.

There are currently more than 40 armed federal agencies that have been granted the privilege of being armed with machine guns and hollow point ammunition.

Recent news revealed both the USDA and the USPS had solicited submachine guns and millions of rounds of ammo. The purpose of these planned acquisitions is still unknown.

Keep in mind, the TSA serves as an arm of the already-militarized DHS, so it’s unlikely the TSA’s newly acquired “duty ammunition” will go unused.

Naturally, the TSA will argue the 24,000,000 rounds of ammo will be used for the protection of air travelers — even as it’s beginning to look like the DHS is attempting to establish a permanent paramilitary force of its own here on U.S. soil.

We’ve already seen countless signs of increased militarization as local police departments acquire military-grade vehicles and helicopters.

And as politicians like Harry Reid begin to use federal agencies for their own personal gain, the purchase orders for billions of rounds of ammunition for “no good reason” are starting to make sense.

The TSA states the 24 million rounds of ammunition are for “DHS component locations nationwide.”
