Founded in 1636 as a citizen force, the U.S. National Guard is a “ready” reserve group of 450,000 men and women voluntarily serving in all 50 states and four U.S. territories. Guard members hold civilian jobs and maintain part-time military training. They are called to service in times of civil unrest, natural disasters, labor strikes, wars, health emergencies and riots.
Uniquely existing as both a state and federal force, as per the U.S. Constitution, Guard units may be called on to preserve public safety, order and peace at home in times of emergency and may also be deployed to serve as essential parts of America’s forces abroad.

More recently, in 2020, almost 100,000 Guard members were deployed as assistance for the coronavirus pandemic, California wildfires and anti-racism protests. On January 6, 2021, the day Congress was gathered to officially count the Electoral College vote, Guard members were called upon after a mob breached the U.S. Capitol.
I’m not sure it is so different from airline luggage being scanned.
Lack of security is the reason public transportation will never work.
Lack of prosecuting public transportation criminals to the FULL extent of the law. AND, lack of keeping the mentally ill and drug addicts from harassing customers.
Right.

My buddy in Watertown answered his door with automatic weapons pointing at him.
Posse Commitatus only applies if the NG is federalized, otherwise this is a state action
Thanks
