Secret operations are essential in war, upon them the army relies to make its every move. ... An army without secret agents is exactly like a man without eyes or ears.

I don't think this gives the terrorists the feeling they are controlling us through fear, I think it is a useful plan that aids in the law enforcement authoritys ability to do its job in the event of a severe terror threat.

if it happens i hope i'm at work, plenty of food and booze :thumbs-up:
and i've been thinking, what's really the chance that there's going to be a terrorist strike right now, when everybody's expecting it?
They're all in shock and awe right now.

im one sexy devil :loveya:
but anyway, isn't the whole thing with terrorism that they strike when nobody's expecting it? why would they try something when the whole country is on high alert for it?
i brought that point up once before. terrorists could use this alert system to determine when we are most vulnerable, if we are at a low state of terror they would use that as the best time to attack.
Quote:I would bet that another terrorist attack will be successfully carried out before condition red is ever put into play.
Exactly. Code red occurs when a terrorist attack happens, and the restrictions they put in place are there for a short period of time IE the period immediatly after the attack occurs. It helps keep people safe, and helps track down further terrorist activity in the area.
