SURPRISE! US House moves to scale back color-coded Terra warnings!

[Bluebear]

But of course, since the people "elected" the "correct" President. No need for those pesky Code Orange alerts anymore. :eyes:

WASHINGTON - The Homeland Security Department would be forced to scale back its color-coded alert system for nationwide terror threats and tailor public warnings to specific, targeted locations under a House bill approved Wednesday.

Changes in the threat system were part of a wide-ranging $34 billion bill, approved by a 424-4 vote, that would set Homeland Security priorities for next year. It also would require the hiring of 2,000 border patrol agents — far above the 210 requested by
President Bush — and bolster efforts to remove illegal immigrants from the United States.

whenever his poll ratings drop below 45, it's time to stock up.

I hope you are currently fully stocked. If not, I'm sure there are some Homeland Security people who'd be happy to come check out your house for compliance.
