I think they should replace it with a simple yes-or-no system that tells you
when it's okay to be racist.

"The Department of Homeland Security will replace the widely pilloried
color-
coded warning system for terrorism threats with more targeted alerts to the
public"

Under the new system, the current threat level will be "we want you to be
scared 
enough not to question anything we do, but not so terrified that you stop
working 
and paying taxes."
