Theoretically, we live in a Confederation of States type government.
Federal involvement/oversight are for universal and uniform protections among the states, as in national defense, economic interests (interstate banking and corporate excesses), minimum educational standards, freedom of speech, etc. Basically the oversight and assurance of uniform Constitution and Constitutional amendments application, equally throughout the States.
The Federal Government has just gotten too carried away with control, especially since homeland security. Pretty much a red herring/straw man argument for more control. Very inefficient and a waste of money.
Big Brother may not have done the Twin Towers thing, but he sure didn't waste a second taking full advantage of the moment.
