But no, I'm guessing you still want the airlines to work.......Which proves that you agree that there's a middle ground between security and freedom. So the only question is, where is that middle ground, and where is the threat.
There is so much else in the way of terrorism that could be done in this country if they wanted to, much more easily than hijacking a plane. They could introduce poisons into our food or water, they could barricade a theater and burn it down, they could take out a bridge or some train tracks, hell a couple of the forest fires out west were considered arson, maybe they'll get that idea soon.
Keeping the threat level at orange all the time is like building a car with an oil pressure gauge that stays in one spot all the time.......It's aggravating, and somewhat insulting. If people keep hearing the same thing all the time, don't you think they will ignore it?

Um you are the one that called Homeland Security "ghey" are you not? That shows a complete disrespect for their work and total a unappreciative attitude for their sacrifice. So what the fuck do you think they should do? Artificially change the level just to make it different? What if the oil pressure IS the same? What if the threat level IS the same? What if the there actually is a method to the threat levels? Do you really think they just make this shit up? Hell, maybe there isn't any threat at all, maybe the gov't is just making all this up. I don't know you personally and I'd hate to ASSume but at this point, I honestly doubt that you have shed any blood for this country and that you have probably never lost anyone you love to this struggle.
Enjoy your life and freedom while you have it. If people like you have your way, it won't last long.
