HACK RATING SYSTEM
Kristalrose:
Great idea, JMP!!! Thank you so much!! Finally a good use for the Alert Scale!! ::)
BTW: I heard a speaker on the news this morning talking about the terrorist warnings, and calling the government "terrorists" themselves, because they are using these warnings to keep us all afraid to move forward their own desires (such as stay in power). I thought it was a deep thought and had some truth to it. Just thought I'd share.

If you've seen "Bowling For Columbine," you know that Fear is the US government's most useful weapon...against US citizens.
Anyway, my husband (a truck driver) just informed me that he's been to only one place that actually displays the Terror Alert Scale, and they manufacture fertilizer. Go figger.
tunaisafish:
It does actually make sense that a fertilizer company should display it. You can create some interesting things if you know what to mix.
A schoolfriend used to make smoke effects with them. Note: I deliberately didn't use the B-word, as I don't want Pescado' bunker being raided by the EnEssEye ;D
I don't think we have any kind of public alert system here in the UK.
I used to be in the military, and never did understand the securty alert status. Yeah, I understood the range of colours 'black, black alpha, amber....', but I just didn't get why it was called the "BIKINI STATE".
I don't remember being issued an amber bikini :)
Of course, we all had black ones for personal use.

Possibly something to do with nuclear testing on the Bikini Atoll? Around here, the official Bikini State is Hawaii.
