i agree with you. i think the warning system is pathetic, lame, and couter-productive. i think it was put into place more for psych benefit after 9/11 than for any other reason. although, in some cases, when it is known something is happening, but you don't know what, raising the threat level or putting out vague warnings has the effect of rustling the bushes. it is possible to get adversaries to show their hand if they think you know what they are doing. an increase in phone traffic or even just increased stress levels can cause them to make small mistakes.
i still think it is, primarily, for psych benefit.
"see? everything is ok. look at the pretty color on the threat board, now go back to your desks and relax"
