What are the chances of confiscation by the government?

I remember from the old but still in place Emergency Powers acts and War Laws that the govt has in place plans to sieze any and all food and fuel supplies they deem would be better off redistributed among the masses. Thats why everyone I know has multiple caches as well as their own stockpiles so the govt can never get all your gear.

On one hand it benefits the govt like the US has done to encourage people to stockpile their own supplies and materiels, it saves the govt Billions in not having to keep stocks itself. But on the other hand if they need or want to redistrubute food from the haves ( preppers) to the have nots (sheeple) then those who spent their own time , effort and money are likely to be in trouble if the plods or military arrive at your door to sieze your stuff.
