From NASA to Amtrak, These Are All the Government Agencies with Tactical Teams
I suppose I&#x27;m meant to be disturbed by this apparent militarization of federal agencies, but I doubt NASA SWAT account for much if any of the civil rights abuses going on in America right now.  Rather, most of that stuff is doubtlessly coming from the usual suspects (local cops, FBI, ATF, ICE, etc), not the oddball outfits.<p>Maybe instead I&#x27;m supposed to think these organizations are wasting taxpayer money on matters that are outside their wheelhouse..  maybe that&#x27;s the case.  I can see why NASA would need a security team but perhaps that could be more efficiently provided by another agency.  The article doesn&#x27;t really seem to make this argument though.<p>I suppose maybe I&#x27;m just being a grump and the article is meant for general edification with no agenda.
