How alert is America?

If I saw such a guy in a street, I would only be annoyed that someone actually makes such a corny joke against such a background.
And I'd still say that it's playing with paranoia. The scary thing is that the real bad guys are always one step ahead. Free societies cannot control all aspects of their citizens' lives and still be worthy of the name. If governments try to do so, they're doing more for the terrorits than they are aware of.
I hope I'm not hijacking this thread. I just think it's not that funny actually.
