You know what I think, is this is just away for folks to think themselves important. No one in the government gives a crap about who I am and for the very most part don't give a crap what I do. I am not really sure I see the reason for the detention camps nor am I sure who would send the people there.
While I welcome your non-sinister explanations, the things that haven't been explained away will remain haunting.
FEMA Camps - Debunking FEMA Camp Myths - Popular Mechanics
Overall I agree with your posts in this thread. However, I do not consider popular mechanics a credible source on the matter. Just looking at their monthly magazine it is obvious they are a rag that is a complete cheerleader of the DoD.
There isn't a month that goes by where they are not cheering on a new piece of "special tech", or "special tactics" used by the US military. They (the US military) is literally the best thing on the planet according to them. The last issue I bought in Jan of 2012 had a story about how the awesome marines used helicopters, and boats in the best way possible, no other humans could comprehend..... You think?
Of course they will come to the aid of the DoD in conspiracy matters, even if they are right. If they didn't they may find their journalism access harder to come by.
