Ok let's "un-stupid" it a bit then.

Do you think the U.S. is bending to terrorism or just taking necessary precautions?

"And here i was gonna help your economy by bring in the all important Euro."

The riff-raff meter seems to be working.....

Bring some Brie and a nice Burgundy and we may accept your cheezy euros.....

Problem is, if you bring the Euro in, there is nowhere safe for us to go so we can spend it? Promise to bring in some pesos and then we'll talk.

Nadia:
Here is a pretty good news story on some of the things that are triggered by the elevated alert status.
http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/12/22/threat.states.ap/

From the general public’s viewpoint, most people are pretty much of the following attitude:

  • "John Courtney, a Bostonian standing by the Christmas tree in New York’s Rockefeller Center on Sunday, said the alert made him “maybe just a little more cautious.”

“You can’t stop your life because of this. That gives them exactly what they would want,” Courtney said. " *

Of course, this doesn’t fit in with your opinion that the “country (is) being driven towards being made to feel afraid”. You can always fall back to the position that the article is from CNN and is therefore unreliable though.

What if its a political put-on?

What if the inspections of airplanes from Brit to L.A. or N.Y. or D.C. are a put-on?

<~~~ Cynical person I guess.

Suddenly we are bombarded with med-high terrorism levels...

GBJ's term is almost up.

And he finds Saddam? Terror levels raised.. Innspections all around airports.

Sinse I don't quite trust GBJ I am cynical.

Might be totoally legit.

Chalna, please keep your wet dream fantasies off the boards, this is a public forum after all. May Allah protect us from any attacks taking place, from New York to Karachi.
