Happy Orange Day

I'll try to avoid political discussions in the future, but I was on the CERT website today, and couldn't help noticing that the national threat level is currently "Orange". I'll be flying down to Defcon tonight and I don't like body-cavity searches, so out of curiosity I clicked through.

The U.S. threat level is High, or Orange, for all domestic and international flights. Only small amounts of liquids, aerosols and gels are allowed in carry-on baggage. See the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Web site for up-to-date information on items permitted and prohibited on airlines.

There is no credible, specific intelligence suggesting an imminent threat to the homeland at this time.

Um.

Thanks for that, DHS-people. Way to win the 'War on Terror'.
