“Homeland Security” vehicles coming back from Iraq? Doubtful.

DHS, FBI and a bunch of other Federal agencies have been "inheriting" surplus APCs that are being sent back from Iraq. The FBI's Washington DC field office usually has one or both of it's MRAPs - which are still painted desert yellow - parked out on 3rd St. NW.

Not just Federal agencies either, but State and local PDs as well ... especially those with SWAT components. It's sorta an updated and more sinister version of how, following WWII local PDs/Civil Defense units ended up with Deuce and a Halfs, DUKWs and 3/4 ton trucks.
