Chan Lowe: Terror alerts on social media

While I was sitting around waiting for a federal government shutdown to happen or not happen, this little tidbit swam into my consciousness. It?s heartwarming to know that the Department of Homeland Security is being proactive about alerting the masses; it certainly beats the old color-coded system, which was vague and confusing, and whose only useful purpose was to be activated right before elections so we?d vote for Republicans.

It?s also a refreshing change from DHS? shutting-the-barn-door prevention policy, which is to allow terrorists to come up with daring new ways to harm us, and follow after the fact with the safeguards (Ever since the Shoe Bomber and the Christmas Underwear Bomber, we all have to take off our shoes and have our skivvies electronically scanned before flying. Meanwhile, the bad guys have moved on to something more outlandish?the Belly Button Lint Bomber, for example).
