I am still baffled with how they can say the terror threat is high, but have no idea when or where an attacked is planned.

"The quality of the information we have now is such that we have high confidence that the nation needs to be on guard," McLaughlin told Reuters in a telephone interview.

On guard for what?

Duh! We don't know, but be on guard anyway.

With dip$#its like this at the helm, I really feel so much safer, don't you?

~~ On guard for what?~~

I don't know. I guess for sweaty arabs with wires hanging out of their parkas.

I'm sure there has been some type of information acquired by our guys. Whether that is an increase in communications, recorded comm, more "suspects" entering the country than usual, etc. There has to be some indicator that would cause them to give warning. Granted, it may all be a ploy by terrorists. That is the game these guys play. One big successful attack such as 911, and they can milk it for years while our complacency increases to the point of ignorance, and they have to attack again to get our attention.
