I do mind when people act like paying attention is foolish.

When we are admonished to "Be vigilent." without ANY specifics at all, that's just plain moronic, and "respecting" that is moronic by association. Anyone giving a "warning" as useless at that deserves all the mockery that can be brought to bear on them.

Well, I guess you're supposed to call the FBI every time you see anyone with a skin tone darker than Rene Zellweger doing anything, anywhere.

Are you so obtuse that you need someone to TELL you what suspicious activity is? Personally, I don't need instructions from the government. My husband and I have reported suspicious activity to the FBI three times since September 11, 2001. The FBI took our reports seriously and I hope we helped make our area more secure.

If you see a Middle Eastern male taking pictures of a water treatment plant or a dam, will you simply ignore it, since no one has TOLD you what to look for? Personally, I am smarter than that.

without ANY specifics at all,

The specifics are the mega increase in communications amongst the terrorist.Al Zawahir's announcement, and a dozen other events. there is plenty of reason to raise our awareness.
