We should have threat levels named after villians.

Like when the muslims are just blustering, we're at Threat Level Bluto.

If they start get their hands on some airplanes, we move to Threat Level Witchiepoo.

If they get ahold of some WMDs, we move up to Threat Level Blackula.

That may be too confusing. How about 'pucker' factor?

We could have levels 1-5, 5 being the highest pucker factor.
