So much for a colorblind society
As if trying to keep up with the Homeland Security color scheme weren't hard enough, there is an AP report that states that the airlines and the government are working toward assigning airline passengers a color code based on such things as perceived security risk, travel companions and when flight was purchased. The new plan would at least work like a regular traffic light, green for go, yellow for caution, and red for military tribunal. The plan does not address those green and red arrows, or whether those turning left should yield when the light is green, but there is no arrow. You follow?
Homeland Security seems to be caught up in a never-ending Rainbow Coalition of Roy G. Biv color schemes. If this were a Democratic White House, you can be sure that the rabid right would be blaming some secret homosexual agenda (because of the rainbow theme), as opposed to submitting to it in lock step because something has got to be done about those terrorists, including suspecting that every airline passenger is a criminal. Soon formerly convicted criminals (with the exception of those with a DUI conviction, unless that conviction runs concurrent with a drug test that found traces of illegal substances, because drinking, by God is American) will not be allowed to fly: only decent, law abiding Americans.
How much longer is it to take the train?
