If he has to explain that "The Orange threat level ='s and 8 on a 10 scale. Why does he not just use a 10 scale. Every body knows what a 10 is.

Tall_tex, I'm a expatriated short tex and I usually agree with you in your posts. But, to me, it's kinda' silly to try to get any more explicit than some color rating. This stuff, it seems to me, is about as accurate as predicting tomorrow's weather in Andrews. Ballpark figures are as accurate as they can get, and sometimes they may not even get to the right park.
