			... is now lowered to "Substantial" and not "Critical" Does it seriously matter what word they use? Last edited by Kerry; 12-07-2011 at 03:04 AM. | |||

			There's always a huge risk of terrorism. It's stupid always updating the public on how severe the terrorist risk is..we know

			I don't think that it really matters what word they use, if it's gonna happen it's gonna happen.

			Warnings just freak people out I don't get why we have them. Terrorists are hardly going to wait until a sufficient warning has been released before carrying out their horrible deed. 'We can blow this up yet until they've been warned!' it's stupid

			I have to admit, I am puzzled at the wording they use, wy there just can't be low, high, or critical like arista says, maybe people's confusion would be eased. You can't say you are downgrading a level then say there is still likely an attack at any time so then also ask the public to keep very very vigilant. | ||

| It's lacroix darling | 
			
			It really irritates me how we're like one of the few countries to word our terror threat levels with things like 'critical' and stuff. I'd much rather just a 1, 2, 3, 4 system.  That said I don't think anyone really listens to the terror threat level all that much anyways. It was on critical for months without a single thing going wrong.
