DHS Ponders "Improving" Terrorism Alert System
An anonymous reader writes "The DHS's color-coded terrorism risk warning system has often been criticized on a number of grounds. However, it seems that at last DHS has taken note of these criticisms and is finally planning to fix one of its problems. Which one? Well, since the two lowest levels have never been used in the history of the program, the solution is obvious: just get rid of them! In the new system, the lowest level would be yellow, 'guarded,' representing 'A constant state of vigilance to protect against a terrorist attack.' While it's nice that they're at least no longer maintaining a pretense of it being for anything other than fear-mongering, I don't think this was the kind of change most people were hoping for."
Go to a town hall, exercise your 1st amendment right of free speech. Stand outside the town hall and exercise your 2nd amendment right to keep and bear arms. Sit in Congress and exercise your 1st amendment right to be a jackass.
Fixed that for you. Sorry if you find the political opposition speaking out to be inconvenient for you.
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
