At what color level do we secure U.S. borders?

Puce? Magenta? Ecru?

ZOT Thread / Code Orange Day Thoughts

The 5 color alert system now in use does not provide adequate specificity to keep the public aware of the exact threat level. A scale from infrared to ultra violet would provide increased granularity in the threat warning levels thereby allowing citizens to know precisely the actual threat level. Furthermore, it would allow us to specify verbally the associated threat level by using the most precise color, as in "today's threat level is mauve."

The heightened alert status shifted from yellow to orange on the five-tiered, color-coded scale. Yellow, in the middle of the range, means a "significant" risk and orange means a "high" risk of terrorist attack. The highest level of red represents a "severe" risk.

This is just more Bush administration B*LLSHIT. If we are on a heightened security risk, you would think that our security agencies would be on higher alert. Just after the new ORANGE alert went into affect, 4 Cuban coast guadsmen defected and drove their cuban boat, with armament, into Key West, docked their boat and walked into Key West, armed, looking for someone to give themselves up to. Where was the US Coast Guard, the harbor master and the local police. These guys could have been from Iraq and no one knew. So much for Homeland Security.

You might be at eight

Notice, he didn't say WE might be at 8. Sort goes along with his "Your own your own" speech at yesterdays news briefing. Gotta love these guys, I can certainly see why we are paying them.

Well, from the looks of things you all are at about an 8, now, me, with my bunker, intelligence connections and vaccines-I'm at about a 3.
