And government hiking of the terrorism alert levels is often the indication of government preparing to go on the offensive even more. Not a surprise, as it's much like this: if I plan to swat a hornet's nest, I'm going to warn others that the hornets are going to be made mad; and now don't blame me when you get stung, as I warned you before I decided to make the hornets mad.
