it seems every holiday we get bumped up to orange.

Yep. I'm starting to feel like we're listening to the Feds cry 'Wolf!' one more time...

condition orange... if I'm not mistaken, that means carry two extra magazines.

on the up side, it's becoming easier to remember. (sort of like changing the smoke alarm batteries when you change to daylight savings)

so, when the wife starts putting up holiday decorations, strap on an extra spare mag, throw the backup riotgun in the trunk, and enjoy the holiday weekend. easy.

I am getting tired of it. At times it seems like they are conditioning us (tinfoil alert! ;-) )

As far as my plans, I'm not going to change them, I'm going to celebrate the 4th of July and let the terrorists and feds be damned. I'm not going to cower in my house like some might do, nor avoid large public crowds/events.

It seems to 'fit'.

You seem to be implying that the previous alerts were a failure. It's it as likely that they were sucessfull, and attacks were prevented?

It's not just crying wolf.. remember security is boosted during Orange.. which is called a.. now say it with me... a "precaution". Better to be safe than sorry. Besides we all know Arizona is going to get hit next since they have already said they will ignore federal warnings.

What a shame some farsighted fed didn't declare a *Condition Code Orange* state of readiness alert on the eve of December 7th, 1941....
