Sounds like they are anticipating massive civil unrest. Obama recently signed EO’s that allow him to seize control of all roads, waterways, rail roads, telecom infrastructure, the air traffic control system, water works, power companies, pipelines, etc., pretty much everything necessary to bring the entire country to a screeching halt at the flip of a switch.

There has been an effort to militarize local police departments that goes back well before Obama. It really took off under Clinton, and God only knows what all was handed out in the wake of 9/11, but it was a lot.

That probably won't work for Texas, as it has it's very own, separate power grid... unlike the rest of America, which relies on just two power grids for the other 47 contiguous states. Plus, it has enought natural energy sources to power itself without imports.
So if Obama wanted to do that, he'd actually have to send personnel into Texas to flip that switch... which the Texans would probably resist, considering they also have their own *STATE* military force (not US guard or reserve, but actual state military forces).
