The US is on Yellow Alert!

Yellow means Elevated, in case you've forgotten. It's forgivable if you have, because we have been on Yellow Alert since January 9, 2004.
Certain exceptions were made for mass transit systems, which have flickered to Orange from time to time, and the airlines have been on Orange Alert continuously since August 2006. The airlines occasionally went to Red before that, generally after someone else got bombed.

The Useless Color (Explanation) Security Alert System has never gone below Yellow.

Maybe someone should stop drinking so much coffee? And lay off the paranoia-enhancers?

Ah, but the purpose of security theatre is not to create actual security, it's to make it clear that Someone is Doing Something.

Run in circles, scream and shout"
