Keep some. FEMA, Coast Guard, and the Secret Service are good ideas. (They don't overthrow governments, spy on everyone, siege civilians, nor habitually seize things without warrants.) Some kind of border protection is necessary for a functioning state, but all those agencies seem staffed with sociopaths on power trips.
