Where are the local police with all this theft going on? Where are the state troopers? The Highway Patrol?
Last I heard, feds cannot steal your stuff without a court order. Declaring an 'emergency' has to be done in a specific, clearly defined manner. While that can allow for some 'immediate reutilization' of resources, not wholesale confiscation.
Frog marching a few feds in front of the cameras might get the message across - private supplies will be let through. 'Preferred Contract' suppliers be damned.

I am getting info but like I said, it's not a proven fact. I will post here if I have video.
