"Gut Feelings" to Make You Worry

It's simply a "gut feeling"... So our entire Homeland Security is based on Chertoff's innards! Now that is progress.

Homeland Security chief warns of 'increased risk’
Fearing complacency among the American people over possible terror
threats, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said in
Chicago Tuesday that the nation faces a heightened chance of an attack
this summer.

"I believe we are entering a period this summer of increased risk,"
Chertoff told the Chicago Tribune's editorial board in an unusually
blunt and frank assessment of America's terror threat level.

"Summertime seems to be appealing to them," he said of al-Qaeda. "We do worry that they are rebuilding their activities."

Still, Chertoff said there are not enough indications of an imminent plot to raise the current threat levels nationwide. And he indicated that his remarks were based on "a gut feeling" formed by past seasonal patterns of terrorist attacks, recent al-Qaeda statements, and intelligence he did not disclose.
