Please tell me I'm just paranoid.  But wouldn't a terrible economic crisis that's as serious as 9/11, banks failing, people rioting to get their money, etc, be a good excuse to declare martial law?

Why, exactly, has an Army brigade been assigned to law enforcement duties within the U.S., starting Oct 1?
