Getting the word out to the Barney Fife sheriff types and other small town law enforcement is why the government publicly raises the Terror threat so "everybody" knows. Those of you from smaller towns know exactly how "out of it" small town cops can be. The "word" in LA talk radio yesterday was filled with "red herrings", assholes in government, and similar praise for the public elevation of the risk. Compounding the threat is the view that if al Qaeda has their people working as airline pilots for foreign airlines, once they seal themselves behind steel cockpit doors they can't be stopped. The Left has nothing to talk about. Oh yes, since I am home for the next few days I get a chance to see some TV and the Left was rationalizing the 8% GDP this AM the same way they trashed the Reagan job gains as "burger flippers"; it isn't really happening and if it is happening nobody will benefit.
