to the buried supplies,

If that's a real problem then look into investing in ground-penetrating radar equiptment. Not just for archeologists any more...

The sand there is littered with dead steel, with empty carcasses of deceased tanks from Iraq-Iran war. Large metal bodies can be used to hide smaller metal objects, in our case smaller weapon caches.

Yes. The US civ militia knows about burying weapons and scattering ferrous objects. Kinda like the leprechaun story, who puts ribbons on *all* the trees, since he agreed not to remove the ribbon on the tree over the gold which he placed when captured. However, we can assume that 1. GPR >> magnetometers 2. they'll dig up (well, they'll hire Iraqis to dig up) whatever they need to if the Occupation Resistance motivates them. They will of course also use social controls, if pushed. No right to bear arms, govt ID required for travel, meetings must be registered with 'interim' govt, how do you say Big Brother in arabic? ...
