In the context of this thread, the $550 billion run, and current events, this is just creepy.
Here's a more reliable source of details about the bill. The real eye-catcher is that 1) these "emergency centers" have to be located on military installations, and 2) the military and
Homeland Security Dept. will be over this operation. Excuse me, but the last time I looked, I thought it was
FEMA that had responsibility over national disasters (not Homeland Security). Creepy indeed.
