The terror alert doesn't need a green zone. It will never be green. I knew that when Red was activated, shit would hit the fan - and I was right.
Did you know that during times of Red Alert, The laws are TOTALLY different ? Like right now, I don't think they need a warrant to search and seize, I think you're able to be pulled over and jailed for no reason and it's a suspension of the miranda rights.
Scary shit, huh ?
And they locked down UK Flights primarily. Well, that's great. How about the other countries though ? We stopped the London people, I would think it makes sense to lighten up on that travel path. But no, we still allow Mexicans across the border enmasse.
Fucked up, I tells ya.
Now, that I have had THAT rant... Keep in mind that England allows for surveilance of the public. You can't go anywhere in the UK That isn't on video coverage. Their "civilian spying program" is partly what lead to these arrests. Not that it actively helped the airport, but that they used it to track the movements of those believed to be involved, so they could find them quickly for the raids.
Also, there are still 8 egyptian students loose in the US right now.
