Terror Alert
The terror alert system has been raised to orange.
|
And the little boy cried wolf.
|
Again.
|
The whole process of raising and lowering the levels repeatedly is getting monotonous. It's starting to have very little effect on me now.
|
I'm going to avoid the subways until January, which doesn;t mean I won't use them, but as little as possible.
|
Did they say exactly why it was raised? Is it because of the recent capture of Saddam? Do they fear reprocussions? Just curious - I've been working 22 hours in the past 2 days and with my recent graduation, I haven't been around a television.

From what I've been able to piece together, Ayman-al-Zawahiri, SPECTRE's* - ahem - Al-Qaeda's 'Number Two' man went on Arab TV and mentioned that they were planning a major terrorist attack around the holidays in the U.S. of A. There may be other indicators we may not be aware of that caused the powers that be to ratchet up the threat condition to Orange.
Al-Zawahiri is considered just as dangerous as Osama, and some say he's even worse than his boss. Unusual to see him instead of the main man delivering a threat, and that's something that's keeping our defenses up on guard. * SPECTRE - The SPecial Executive for Counterintelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion. Had to insert a sly James Bond reference, but al-Qaeda operates very much like the fictional nemesis of 007. ;) |
Here's a snippet from CNN.com

I hope this helped :) |
My guess is that I'm totallly wrong, but I have this theory that these "terrorists" are screwing with out heads.
Seems like just about every time a traditional holiday when Americans travel a lot comes up, so do the "credible" threats. Of course we can't ignore them, but this may be a form of psychological terrorism. |
OMG, I think I'll stay in all week.

Great... I'm flying tommorow. They ALWAYS choose me to be searched before boarding.
