Just an observation.
I was in Albion, NY this week trying to get a permit for some construction that needs to be done at one of our sites in that town. Throughout the town there are posters prominently posted that it is against town ordinance to video tape or record any town official in the execution of their job.
When I went into the town hall, I had to be buzzed into the town clerks office. In the office the town clerks were partitioned off with bullet proof glass. When I told the receptionest that I wanted to obtain a building permit I had to be buzzed into a foyer and then buzzed in to a hallway that lead to the building inspectors office. Once there I had to be buzzed into his office by his secretary.
When I left and passed through the clerks office I asked them if this was a rough town. The receptionist said, "no...Why?" I told her that I have been through hundreds of small town government building's and I have never seen this kind of security for a town that had about 9,000 people. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "We did this after we got some money from DHS." [img]http://www.arrse.co.uk/at
Same town now, I am walking to my truck and a police officer was walking down the side walk. Now I know in most municipalities a police officer must wear soft body armor under their blouse but this guy was wearing a vest with sapi plates in it.
TIN FOIL HAT ALERT!
This kind of thing really freaks me out. What is in the cards for the citizens of this town if SHTF.
