Yes, that sounds like it would work, in as much as bureaucrats have very little
stealth and rarely if ever do anything suddenly. If they had the capability, I
don't doubt bureaucrats would deal with us as you describe dealing with them.

believe there are more instances of the
abridgment of the freedom of the people, by
gradual and silent encroachments of those in
power, than by violent and sudden usurpations."
