Why does NASA need a SWAT team? Given the high profile, cost, and classified nature of many space launches, suitable protection against things our enemies may attempt is appropriate. Any number of countries would love to take Uncle Sam down a few pegs by causing a catastrophic launch failure. It's a shame Police State USA doesn't recognize that, it diminishes their credibility.
Swiping a paper weight with alleged fleck of moon dust from a little old lady, though, is indeed over the top. Some special weapons and/or tactics may have been needed to steal the rock, but why not just wait for her to leave home, get a search warrant, have a "lock smith" open the door, and take what they wanted? Why all the drama?
Sometimes less is more.
