Realtime Orange

» 05 June 2003 » In Rants »

Instant notification of domestic terror alerts. Yeah, that’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for. How is knowing that the current alert level is Orange versus Yellow going to change the way I go about my everyday business? Am I supposed to be extra vigilant and report any Orange-level activities to appopriate authorities, armed with the Patriot Act? The whole terror alert system is silly. Reminds of a great Onion article (no link unfortunately) which talks about extremely loud sirens going 24 hours a day to announce the current alert level.
