is this term "martial law" applicable to use during a major storm event, like Sandy or Katrina, or even in the short term after 9/11? If the Govt has to put the area on lock down after a major diseaster, this would be a good way to do it, no?
I would think there are many many plans written for first responders to get control, and get to work. The pictures of looters after Katrina made me want the cops to start whacking eveyone coming out of the stores with arm's filled with tv's and liquor. I don't include those taking necessities to survive in the weeks afterword as the same thing though.
