9/11 is such a tragic date to be written or discussed in the nature of America today. Americans have been feeding on fear of everyone and everything for as long as fear could be recognized. It seems to be very ironic there is a current war on terror amongst the publics existing today. What is the terror we are fighting? People who fight the media can definitely argue the terror is towards the government, or terror against others, or terror against more terror. The mass media and its main sources need to be very careful how they report the latest developments. Homeland Security have different ways to keep the public minimally informed or give them a sense of security within their domain. A certain approach they tried with the war on terror is a color-coded system of potential threat levels. This system can prepare a massive public panic by forewarning or even "faux"-warning to help inform a large amount of the public to prepare for a threat that might effect the country as a whole. As with any system that seems useless until it actually comes into use for citizens, it gets a particular job done. If that job is just scaring the crap out of the public so it will pay better attention to breaking news, so be it, as long as it grabs focus for the better good. It's just hard to realize that in the back of so many heads people are saying that there just has to be a better way.
