Check your sources, the government really is planning on doing this, and has so announced on the CitizenCorps site:

http://www.citizencorps.gov/tips.html

Operation TIPS - the Terrorism Information and Prevention System - will be a nationwide program giving millions of American truckers, letter carriers, train conductors, ship captains, utility employees, and others a formal way to report suspicious terrorist activity. Operation TIPS, a project of the U.S. Department of Justice, will begin as a pilot program in 10 cities that will be selected.

Operation TIPS, involving 1 million workers in the pilot stage, will be a national reporting system that allows these workers, whose routines make them well-positioned to recognize unusual events, to report suspicious activity. Every participant in this new program will be given an Operation TIPS information sticker to be affixed to the cab of their vehicle or placed in some other public location so that the toll-free reporting number is readily available.

Besides, ad hominem attacks don't tell us a damn thing. Sure, some stuff comes from nutty sources, but if it's true, it's true.

So, what then would be your alternative plan (seeing as there are upwards of 5000 enemy agents, many capable of horrid acts of terrorism already inside the domestic United States)? What was the active involvement of the average American during the War of Independence when called upon by his new government to maintain vigilence, defend the homeland, and run out the opressors?
