I've noted that Florida seems to be the testing ground for lots of rather frightening ideas. Medical Service Experiments previously and now a new idea... Letting Law Enforcement do practice runs on Storm Trooper tactics.

The full article is presented below:

Baltimore Sun

Anti-terror shows of force planned
MIAMI // Miami police announced yesterday they will stage random shows of force at hotels, banks and other public places to keep terrorists guessing and remind people to be vigilant. Deputy Police Chief Frank Fernandez said officers might, for example, surround a bank building, check the IDs of everyone going in and out and hand out leaflets about terror threats. Police Chief John Timoney said there was no specific, credible threat of an imminent terror attack in Miami. But he said the city has repeatedly been mentioned in intelligence reports as a potential target.

What I foresee is an attempt at Shock & Awe: Police State Style.
It also will do a good job of 'Conditioning' the public to accept such activity. Once you are surrounded by a group of heavily armed police officers and are commanded to provide an ID Card, you will learn to meekly provide it. Failure to do so will cause a great degree of discomfort and will provide an object lesson to others watching. After several such object lessons, you will be more than happy to provide whatever is requested as the Storm trooper.. uh, Officer, ask "Papers Please!"
