When the FBI issues these warnings they had better start getting more specific, because these vague statements are not very effective. It's hard to "be vigilant" at every waking moment if you have no idea what you are looking for.
Your frustration is shared by many of us. "Be vigilant" means what? The problem is that there are threats that are VERY real. When President Bush said we won't know the successes, we need to recognize that there are people putting their lives on the line EVERY DAY trying to keep one step ahead of the terrorists AND when they do succeed in thwarting this evil -- we will not know.
I pray for our military personnel ALWAYS and I pray for our law enforcement personnel ALWAYS. I sincerely pray for God's intervention in our behalf. God Bless America.
Think I better get busy getting our family disaster kit ready -- it's not. See mcfrs.org.
