I agree that people are getting numb to terror alerts, because of the terror levels... in europe the terror level is high, however it has been more specific when goverments have made terror alerts - ex. letting people know that if they are at a crowded place like a trainstation, then be alert for any strange behaviour etc... the alerts have helped making people more aware of the out of place situations, and probably given the intelligence network alot of possible suspects/leads.
You are probably right about the foolish color coded terror levels (either you are at risk or you are not), however there is a real constant terror threat... so what version of the truth will you and other voters sleep better at night knowing?
1. that terrorist are working as we speak on making new deadly attacks, and goverment can do little or rather close to nothing to prevent them?
2. that goverment is in the known about terrorist attacks, and do something to prevent them?
