Although i see this in the bill:
Quote:
(b) Applicability to United States Citizens and Lawful Resident Aliens-
(1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS- The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.
(2) LAWFUL RESIDENT ALIENS- The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to a lawful resident alien of the United States on the basis of conduct taking place within the United States, except to the extent permitted by the Constitution of the United States.

it does creep me out that potential AL-Quaida (however you spell that) agents detained in the U.S. are going to be put under military control. I think this country has functioned pretty well for the past 2 centuries with out a national police force. I don't know where this plan is headed, but it doesn't seem to be a positive development.
