Read my post again Carefully. Besides I do believe that as long as just compensation is given in times of emergency there is commandeering. But like I said I believe the insurer who likely had to pay for several hundred DESTROYED buses would have preferred they be taken to safety and returned especially since commandeered they nor owner would be liable for loss or damage.

Now if there were no danger to human life and no justifiable need and Nagin or governor took the buses that would have been a different story. In emergency such as a hurricane yes there are allowances to use what is available to ensure safety and saving of life and property. The term also has a military meaning. The key here is COMPENSATION the same as if military used your land there must be compensation.
