What are the chances that Al Qaeda were just playing us? Pakistani intelligence?

1. Or maybe Homeland Security/FBI/CIA, etc. (Pick one),

just made the whole thing up to ramp up the paranoia.

2. Paranoia is right.

Need to keep funding all those wars also.

Got to keep a monster under the bed, keeps the citizens afraid.

3. whose boneheaded idea was it to make this kind of crap public?

it's stupid public policy to scare people without a SOUND basis, especially if the RECOMMENDATION is to NOT change your plans or actions other than to be extra vigilent, whatever that means.

"quick, everyone, it's very important that you act completely normally and naturally! try very hard to ignore this message completely!"

5. The Department of "Boo!"

And remember, we're still at the Perpetual Elevated Alert Level!!

7. Babysitters -- do not check that noise in the basement.

The rest of you, keep your dogs leashed after dark.

4. Al Qaeda and Pakistani intelligence aren't playing us

The US government is playing us...dealing us the fear card.

6. Are you kidding me?
