"As we though! They are not telling us!"

They don't want to panic people, because there is nothing much the general population can do. Remember, when they raised it to orange some time back and nothing happened, then people complained.
Britain is also on High Alert.

Britain on high alert fearing al-Qaeda attack
London, Nov 29 (UNI) Britain's security and intelligence agencies have been on a heightened state of alert for several weeks, fearing an al-Qaeda attack in this country.
Though no information indicating any specific target or an imminent attack had been intercepted, but the activities of those believed to be connected to al-Qaeda were said to have escalated significantly, English daily Guardian reported.
Two weeks ago the intelligence services raised their internal warning level to its second highest state, from that of a ''significant'' to a ''severe general'' alert. The seven tier category of alerts was introduced after the Bali bombing in October last year.
The highest alert is triggered when there is an identified attack on the way to an identified target. Security services describe this as a ''defined'' threat.
The blasts at the British consulate and the HSBC Bank in Turkey's largest city confirmed - as an earlier al-Qaeda statement predicted - that America's allies in Iraq had moved to the top of the militant network's target list. Britain was the first country mentioned in the statement.
The intelligence services and Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist branch agree that an al-Qaeda attack in the UK is a matter of when, not if.
The heightened levels of security have resulted in tighter security around potential targets. Concrete barriers have been placed around Parliament and there have been roadside checks on vehicles by police. The Jewish community
has also been pressing for improved safeguards, the daily reported.
http://www.deepikaglobal.com/latestnews.asp?ncode=9560I agree that the officials are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
And given the liberal media idiots, the officials are even more hamstrung in terms of what they could ideally do.
Supposedly we live among a well educated citizenry who can make sound judgments based on truthful info inputs.
Given Commie dumbed down schools and a lot of other liberal brainwashing and social engineering on our culture the last 50 years, such an assumption just doesn't fly at all any more.
And any public pronouncement regardless of the probabilities involved--will unalterably be met with a long list of hideous idiocies from the media, the liberals and the plain lazy and stupid.
Among them are probably those who'd duct tape themselves in the bathroom until the air ran out and then wouldn't have presence of mind enough left to unseal the space enough to breathe soon enough to survive.
Crazy world. A very crazy world.
