I always thought that the terror level going down would make a great signal for terrorist types. "When is D-day, Ahmed?" "When the terror level hits yellow!" That kind of thing.

Either a very bad joke, or a very huge lie... can't afford to lose passengers...

Officials said that the bomb threat came from a phone call placed at a Shell gas station

Does this gas station have video cameras?

passengers should be armed

With stun guns only

Good Point. I hope the feds have thought of that too!
