Boise doesn't know who or what has designs on them but they're ready: they've just purchased military-grade assault vehicles. And they're not the only Important City in America to have purchased such hardware.

Here's the scoop.
It is amusing to reflect upon the fact that the same people who are aghast at the Communist paranoia of the 1950s, and the Nazi/Japanese paranoia of the 1940s, are the ones assuring us that the Department of Homeland Security, which is happily promoting anti-everybody paranoia around the country, is only acting in our best interests.
Maybe it's time we took another look at that Twilight Zone episode, "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street". Rod Serling was more of a prophet than he knew.
