Thank you for posting it here. More people will see it.
I was surprised yesterday when I went to the Ft. Myers, Florida airport that they had one of those mobile signs at the entry into the airport stating TERRORISM ALERT HIGH!

Here is the information as to why the threat level is high in the airport sector:

The U.S. Homeland alert level is: elevated (yellow).
The U.S. Aviation alert level is: high (red); has been since 9/11/01.

The DHS article is dated March 5, 2008.

Thanks Oorang.
I don’t think you are stupid.
You’re welcome but you had a much better link.
