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

[Homeslice]

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?

[BobTheBiker]

its another way to inspire panic into the masses basically. thats how I see it.

Beats me. Nobody pays attention to it any more anyway. They have Oranged us numb.

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.

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.

No what's "GHEY" is having a bunch of Muslim motherfucking pieces of shit, fly a plane into a building and kill over 3,000 innocent people! If making me take off my shoes and not allowing me to carry shampoo on a plane can even remotely prevent that then I'm all for it. I guess the measure is whether there have been more attacks of this nature?.... Hmmm no there haven't so I guess it's fucking somewhat effective.

You know what? Fuck y'all, I live in a small town with a tiny airport and almost no large buildings. Maybe your boy Obama will do us a favor and dissolve Homeland Security. If we're lucky the terrorists will nuke D.C., New York, Chicago, Miami, and L.A. simultaneously. That would wipe out about 75% of the jack asses that don't think we need to secure our borders in one fell swoop!
