It could very well be. Make vague threats and see how high the Americans jump. 
But a good way to combat psycho-terror is to just keep living your life the way you would do anyway. Screen air passengers more carefully, increase police patrols, yes, but don't let the possibility of terrorism keep you hiding at home. Look at Israel - every time they go to market, they know today could be the day their market gets blown up, but they go anyway. If you hide at home, then the terrorists have won.
Stay safe, everyone.

Heard on the news that Air France cancelled five flights lately due to terrorist threats, today and tomorrow (24th and 25th Dec)
Also, the police caught a plan to bomb train station (?not sure, might be subway), and they found the bomb on a vehicle. This is in Madrid, Spain, btw
Stay safe ya'll

NO JOKE!!! I am sorry but seriously these terrorists are NOT THAT DUMB.  I also agree with whoever said that this is more so psychological terrorism than anything else. Ok I'll admit I was wrong if tomorrow the country gets attacked but I honestly doubt it. And I understand people who live in higher danger zones or whatever wanting to be cautious or whatnot, but really the way I see it if it's going to happen, it's going to happen and I don't think there is much any of us individually can do. So I say live your life as best as you can, don't be careless but don't live in fear. I believe that what is meant to happen will happen. That's life. Ok, enough rambling from Kiki.

Umm that's not true. When there is fear in the air, the streets in Jerusalem are empty. Nobody wants to go into the street. Ben Yehuda becomes a ghost street. The stores and public transport become hard hit and people rely on delivery and private transport. Much of the private enterprise there has hired private body guards for most stores and people usually don't go into places without the guards. That quote about hiding at home is foolish - it doesn't hold in most places where there is rampant terrorism. Terrorism achieves its goal very effectively. It doesn't mean people sit at home crying, but it also doesn't mean you let your children ride the bus to go clubbing.

No. This is an all male gathering. Delt-Alum is going to come shirtless, bang on tables and demand to be served the finest Coors this side of the Rockies.

My personal opinion on the orange alert....
We are raising the threat to orange to see what the terrorists reaction is, ie if the "chatter" backs off or becomes intensified or what not.

Hey Cream,
Come on by. I promise to be on my best behavior. I don't want to catch a cold, so I'll be sure to wear a shirt.
I haven't liked Coors since college -- even though that's considered heretical around here. Give me Rolling Rock anytime!
