Blimps

What kind of government deploys blimps around its national capital in fear? The U.S. government. 

According to this The Atlantic article, the U.S government's military establishment (Pentagon) has spent $5,400,000,000 on two blimps to cruise perpetually around the skies of Washington, D.C. to protect our precious power brokers. That's right, taxpayer, two (2) blimps cost $5,400,000,000! And they are most likely meant to protect the politicians in Washington from us, the people, rather than some foreign invader.
