The terror alert has no basis in reality, today. It is a new alert based on old facts that Predates 911, so it may have stopped 911 from happening, but its real purpose is to get the police state crankin, to prep us to recieve martial law and no elections. Setting barricades is an interesting distraction from Kerry, who is crushing Bush in polls. The Bush camp is most dangerous when polls drop. So sew your eyes open and "act" terrorized

Terror alert based on old news, to usher in new dictator
Intel That Sparked Alert Dates to 2000

WASHINGTON - U.S. officials say the detailed surveillance photos and documents that prompted higher terror warnings dated from as far back as 2000 and 2001, and Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said Tuesday the government concluded "it was essential" to publicize it and raise the terror alert.
Speaking at a news conference in New York, Ridge said that because of the heightened security steps, "We have made it much more difficult for the terrorists to achieve their broad objectives. ... We will not become fortress America."
Officials had said earlier that it wasn't clear whether the individuals who amassed the information, principally on financial institutions in New York, Newark and Washington, D.C., are still in the country or plotting.
Ridge said there was no indication that terrorists had infiltrated the financial institutions themselves in order to obtain information about them. "There's no such information," he said, adding that many institutions routinely put employees in critical positions through "some fairly rigorous background checks."
