The Department of Homeland Security is spending up to
$58 million dollars to hire armed guards to protect two Social Security
buildings in Baltimore, measures which some see as preparation for
upcoming civil unrest.
According to an announcement on
the Federal Business Opportunities website, the DHS awarded Paragon
Systems, Inc. a contract “not to exceed $58,620,338.99,” to provide
“Protective Security Officer (PSO) services in support of the Social
Security Administration (SSA) Wabash Street and Metro West locations
within Baltimore, MD.”
According to its website,
“Paragon security specialists and officers perform armed and unarmed
post/gate control, magnetometer and X-Ray screening, roving foot and
vehicle patrols, management of central communications/security centers,
CCTV and alarm monitoring, security escort, dignitary protection,
security training, threat assessment, emergency preparedness evaluation,
vehicle and visitor screening/badging, armory management, and first
responder emergency services, including emergency medical technicians.”
Recent indications suggest the feds are becoming
increasingly concerned over Social Security buildings becoming a target
for irate Americans. The DHS ran a controversial drill in January 2012 dubbed “Operation Shield,” during
which FPS agents armed with semiautomatic guns were posted outside a
Social Security office in Florida accompanied by sniffer dogs as they
checked the ID’s of visitors. The exercise centered around “detecting
the presence of unauthorized persons and potentially disruptive or
dangerous activities.” DHS officials refused to speak to the media when
asked about the drill.
