Terror Alerts

The comic strip The Boondocks defines my feelings about the government's current terror alert system:

"The department of homeland security said the public should not be worried during this heightened terror alert, but they should keep a lookout for anything strange...

We can't tell you what to look out for, or where to look out for it, but YOU know what we mean, and WE know that YOU'LL know what you should be looking for if you see it."
