John Pike, of FAS and Globalsecurity.org, was on PBS's "The NewsHour with
Jim Lehrer " tonight. The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 was brought up. I
think you'd better get used to surveillance forever.

Warning: Globalsecurity has popups for mortgages.

There are several links. I chose one from a law journal. Here's a quote:

>>
The growing haste and ease with which the military is considered a
panacea for domestic problems will quickly undermine the PCA if it
remains unchecked. Minor exceptions to the PCA can quickly expand to
become major exceptions. For example in 1981, Congress created an
exception to the PCA to allow military involvement in drug interdiction
at our borders. [9] Then in 1989, Congress designated the Department of
Defense as the "single lead agency" in drug interdiction efforts.[10]
