I think that misses the point.
I believe the purpose of these weapons and installations would be to put down the rebellion which will follow if Bush, Cheney et al. decide to maintain power in spite of the Constitution.
They're pushing the edge now. I believe the unconstitutional spying is for domestic political purposes, the unconstitutional surveillance is for the same, and they will do whatver they think they can get away with to maintain power.
It's a plutocracy.
