Not as crazy as you may have though it sounded. The "Department of Homeland Security" and the P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act have also been hugely abused.

The PATRIOT Act protects us from:

I researched this and have found nothing to support it. No huge round ups of people or violations of peoples civil liberties. Nothing. So without supportive fact, I would say that of this is just consiritory fear and hog wash.

Then again, if they can keep the UFO at Area 51 secret for all of these years, and that Stargate program, then anything is possible.
