US to use Facebook, Twitter to issue terror alerts

Terror alerts from the government will soon have just two levels of warnings — elevated and imminent — and those will be relayed to the public only under certain circumstances. Color codes are out; Facebook and Twitter will sometimes be in, according to a Homeland Security draft obtained by The Associated Press

YAY to scaring everyone all the time. Chances of dying in a terrorist attack << getting run over.

That is very scary!  But if they use Twitter to get the message across then I will never know about it.  :bawl:
