I personally see no reason to run around the neighborhood yelling ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh in panic.

When did anyone ever tell any American to do this?

I don't know about you, but I am getting really tired of people mocking Tom Ridge and Homeland Security. The threat level is being elevated because of reasonable precaution due to chatter indicating that Al Qaeda is planning on striking us here or in our outposts abroad.

I don't mind people calling it level Ernie. I do mind when people act like paying attention is foolish.

Rob,

FYI, the terror warning was to be raised Friday but was delayed from Admin officials based on common good.....

The financial impact to the US economy from this weekends missed shopping would be outwieghed by the threat. Besides, the attack is puported to occur between Christmas and New Years.....

The terror alert is more for civil defense coordination than for the general public consumption.....
