"The Department of Homeland Security will replace the widely pilloried color-
coded warning system for terrorism threats with more targeted alerts to the public"

Under the new system, the current threat level will be "we want you to be scared
enough not to question anything we do, but not so terrified that you stop working
and paying taxes."


The New Terror Alert System

1 Sheep - You have been randomly selected for a pat-down.
2 Sheep - It's no more dangerous than a chest x-ray.
3 Sheep - It's nothing your own doctor wouldn't do.
4 Sheep - [Redacted]
5 Sheep - You may feel some discomfort while the device is inserted.
