A lot of 'chatter' and claims of a 9-11 style attack. Supposedly they are hyping it up to be as bad or worse. Supposedly using passenger or cargo planes from other countries. There was also some speculation around claims of a femal suicide bomber planning something around new years eve.
It boils down to this. there are credible threats of all levels made or speculated about every single day in this country. Before 9-11 there was a not totally specific threat about a large attack. People cried about why weren't they made aware of this possible terrorist threat. Henceforth, the color alert system has been formed. Now when the threat level gets raised (just as a way to say hey if you are going traveling or maybe you are going to be in a large group of people in the city maybe you should express some caution) people just shrug it off as a joke.
Kinda strange aint it?
