In addition to what everyone else has said about reliability of this
information, I will say that I remember the episode, and I also
remember that the idea was flatly trounced by anyone with a brain. It
was withdrawn, quickly, and not raised again that I know of.

This does not sound like a Nazi nation to me. I am certain that the
people of the US on average are strong enough to see through this kind
of nonsense at a glance. We love freedom, and we love that our
Constitution takes pains to guarantee it. It takes a pretty big
problem to wants to restrict those freedoms, and an offhanded
suggestion of excessive internal security isn't going to make the big
time.
