That's how I interpreted it when I read the article. Here's a hypothetical answer for your question. Get a bunch of military out there, popping out at civilians and scaring them, shooting at them, as you described...

I would like to find out if there is anyone "camped out" to see just what type of vehicles DO show up at these places. At this point, anything other than plumbers coming out in large groups, it would be very curious.

Care to point out a single lawsuit that happened due to such? I can't find any. All I've found is they must have the proper cleaning equipment and be trained to safely clean it.
OSHA has this to say about hantavirus:
There are currently no specific OSHA standards for Hantavirus.

Why are Texas and Utah being labeled "hostile"? I guess I can see Texas having this label because our border is open and any 'terrorist' can get through but Utah is not on any border. Anyone have an explanation?
Texas has a history of "not taking kindly" to the federal government.
Texas also has the "Texas State Guard" which is a substantial military force that only takes orders from the governor.
Basically, if Texas really decided to secede, the federal government would have one hell of a fight to get it back by force.

Thanks for your reply. I am aware that we're not exactly government's favorite state and can see us being labeled 'hostile' but I don't know why Utah is. What have they done?

Mormons tend to distrust the government and many of their church communities are also "prepper communities." Basically, they're well-organized, well-supplied, and they are loyal to each other... hence: the government considers them a threat.

New crisis actors are always in demand. People are figuring out that the ones they currently have are being recognized and overused in many FF situations.
Do people really think that 4k+ troops and all of that military equipment in southern California is just for training? Come on... Don't be in denial. That is a unbelievable amount of military equipment for a "training exercise" and Special Ops don't train to detain. They strike fast and eliminate potential threats.

Sam was a True blue U.S. citizen and still in charge. remember nothing was sold that wasn't made in the USA.
highly doubtful that he would let that happen.
"From the beginning, Walton had bought goods wherever he could get them cheapest, with any other considerations secondary," writes Bob Ortega, author of the Wal-Mart history, In Sam We Trust. By the early 1980s, Ortega reports, Walton "increasingly looked to imports, which were usually cheaper because factory workers were paid so much less in China and the other Asian countries."

If they wanted to cut jobs why say it's about the plumbing? Just say they're cutting back. Sure no one like cut back but you don't have people looking at you when you say that. If it's plumbing it normally comes with a reason. A main blew, toilets are bad, or we just didn't like the color of the toilet seat.
They have gone ahead and told people they don't have a job anymore last minute and shut down or cut back on a store be for why not this time as well. Why would the people working there not know about a plumbing problem so bad that it needs to store to be shut down for that long? You would think they would all know about the plumbing problem since it would most likely be a normal thing to complain about while at work.
