Posse comitatus coming to an end?

The U.S. military expects to have 20,000 uniformed troops inside the United States by 2011 trained to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack or other domestic catastrophe, according to Pentagon officials.
Does anyone here think that these troops will be used solely for emergency response to terror, or will "mission creep" cause them to be used to enforce laws? What effect will this have in enforcing laws such as the expected AWB that the Obama administration is surely contemplating?
