Have we ever NOT been at Homeland Security Threat Level Orange?

Seriously.

I've flown over 100 times since 9/11, and I can't remember it ever being anything BUT orange.

What's the point of having a "threat level" if the level always stays the same?

welcome to government super micromanagement. the army does the same thing. every single fucking thing you do you need to have a printed risk assessment for, now the rub is that for any risk other than low you have to get the battalion commander to sign off on the activity. and no one wants to gather any undue attention from the old man so guess how many mediums and highs get written up?

I think it is any time the government feels an attack may be imminent they raise it to orange. Right now it is yellow except for airports which are orange.

exactly... HLS can issue different levels for different areas. For example when the terrorist fucks were going to try to bomb my company near JFK airport we were at like red or some shit But only for that area.

Have you ever watched American Dad?
There's a color wheel with a spinner that helps them determine what state of alert we'll be at today.
So it just happens to keep landing on Orange.

Still orange

I don't remember it being yellow even ONCE in the last 8 years and prolly 150 times I've flown during that time.

Retarded.

Dept of Homeland Security = teh ghey
