#2 I am more worried about SWAT teams doing "kindler and gentler" nicht und nebel raids at 3AM becoming a standard feature of police behavior.

#4 I'm conflicted.

Would like to see the LoA's, assuming they exist, stipulating under what conditions the equipment could be used.

It may come in very handy close to the next election.

(Slightly) OT: I at one time lived a few miles off (USAF) base for a while and one day heard a hell of a racket outside. Looked out the window and saw three honest-to-G*d APC's rumbling down the (civilian) street. Got my undivided attention real fast.
