US Mulls Federal Troops for Bird Flu Quarantine

The Pentagon is looking at the possibility of using federal troops to enforce a quarantine in the event of an outbreak of pandemic bird flu in the United States, a senior official said on Wednesday.

President George W. Bush said last week he would consider using the military to "effect a quarantine" in response to any outbreak of avian influenza, but provided few details.

This won't require citizens being sent to quarantine facilities, though, will it? And he'll let us keep our guns, right?
