How is this helping keep us terrorized? It says nothing about terrorism.

Dear Sir: You are far, far too literal.
The whole "color coding" "threat level" bullshit keeps people terrorized.... AND does =nothing= to counter terrorism, because by publically announcing "Today is threat level Orange, we're watching the bridges!!" on the news basically announces to any potential sleeper cells that those days are bad to pull something off.
Israel, for example, would never have a "color coded threat index"... What point does it serve? I ask you...

But this is not the threat level for terrorism. Even if it was the color codes do not keep people terrorized, only people keep themselves terrorized. Even if our national threat leve were red I would continue on as usual and I am sure there are many many more like me who would not be afraid because of it. I do not think the majority of the people in this nation are cowards and let stuff like this frighten them. Read what is on this chart and you will see it is not the national threat level for terrorism.

When one accepts his own mortality he can then live life to it's fullest. People who worry about death don't have much time to live. It wouldn't bother me if the entire world was at war because I know I can protect my family and I will live until I die.
