“It’s been a number of years since 9/11, and people get complacent over time. Being prepared allows us to reduce the level of fear in this country, and we want to do that.”
That’s news today [1] from Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security. Do you agree with what she says– that they want to reduce the level of fear in this country? Do you think the best way to do that is by reminding everyone that we should always be afraid of a terrorist attack? I mean, it’s not as though they are warning of specific attack or any credible threats that they’ve received.
Does anyone keep track of what the current threat level is [2]? It’s yellow, by the way. Unless you go to an airport, which ostensibly will be at a permanent orange level.
