The alert system basically has no effect on me at all anymore.
Having flown several times in the last year, all it means to me is more noise and inconvenience at the airport.
If something happens, it is just part of life now.

i do think it's 'conditioning', but i don't think it's been put in place in a "cry wolf" scenario where the public gets tired of hearing about it and less alarmed. i think that's just 'what happens' after repeated scenario.
Originally posted by zooplancton i'd actually lean the other way and say that gov. would WANT people to still buy into the levels of threat. they've got a hell of a campaign thus far on it.
