Officials worry of summer terror attack - Yahoo! News
...the very definition of all bun, no burger.
Synopsis:
-The director of homeland security has a gut feeling that a period of increased risk may happen
-An official who dare not be named is worried without any knowledge of a specific threat.
What's to be done, then? A level of super extreme readiness? Will we ever get to terror level "a-okay"? Do we even know what the colors are underneath yellow and red?
What reasons could there be to run an article like this? To inform the public that the guy who's responsible for being concerned about possible terror attacksis concerned there might be one? As opposed to every other day, when he has a long lunch and naps under his desk?
Is it trying to inspire the public to be more vigilant? I hope not. My experience in the vigilance of the ordinary citizen has not been the greatest. Most people I see on mass transportation do their best to ignore their fellow travelers, and do so fairly successfully. So, is an article like this *really* going to supplant basic self-preservation as an impetus to be watchful?
If not, what is it trying to do?
Is it blatantly fear politicing? I guess, but man, a little subtlety wouldn't be too tough.

They're starting early, the election is next year and they are deluding as they think that only republicans can do a good job at protecting us. Guess they didn't get the memo.
