Does/has anyone ever cared what the current homeland "security level" color is?

I noticed that this weekend too, it was a little too creepy for me. Like they’re trying to instill fear.

I have never had confidence in the validity of the system (which color means what) or the quality of the intelligence they get.

I have limited means to make preparations, because if there is a threat, you can bet your boots they won’t provide details on the type of threat.

I tend to be very observant of my surroundings anyway so, no, I do not pay attention.

It’s all fear based. Put the fear in us just to cover their asses (just in case).

It’s all bullshit anyway, I pay zero attention to it.

I don’t know if there’s domestic education as to what the colours mean and what one should do but as a Canadian I found it needlessly perplexing. Last month on a trip to Chicago it was orange! We were all like “that’s one below red!”

I was so freaked out I forgot to take off my shoes through security.

They broadcast it in airports? That is news to me. There must be a election coming up.

i was in the airport a few weeks ago and they raised it to orange. What does that mean. Did someone take to much hand lotion onto a plane that was not in a zip-lock baggy. I think its as dumb as some of the power hungry TSA people.

It’s an embarrassment to our nation, take a look at the safety products to go along with it in catalogs like Lab Safety

I don’t understand how they get their data to change the colors from day to day. It’s almost like a weather report (and we know how reliable those are). I think it’s silly. If something is going to happen, it’s going to happen no matter what color the day is, so live for today!

I made sure last time I was in an airport, that everytime I was near a TSA employee, I turned to the person next to me an said loudly, “you know who else had a dept of homeland security? Hitler”

Its all a joke. All to add fear.

It’s not new. Been broadcast at Denver International ever since the system was put in place.

@tvilot nice to meet a fellow Denver citizen
