"The current threat advisory level is orange"

[Triskadecamus]

It’s all so much more subtle, and palatable than posting signs saying “All sheep are advised that wolves have been seen in the woods. Sheep should follow all instructions given by shepherds at all time, and support the system of wolf awareness.”

They are the government, they are here to help you.

The other question, of course, is what travelers are suposed to do with this information. I’m going to be flying tomorrow: if I hear this announcement, am I supposed to:
(1) panic mildly during my trip?
(2) scan my fellow passengers to see if any are carrying bombs?
(3) purchase some extra insurance for the benefit of my survivors?

(4) Drop your pants and spread your cheeks for the TSA.

Or is it all part of the theatre of the absurd put on display for our benefit by the Department of Homeland Security?
