Treat level high. Looks like it's going orange.
Edited on Tue Oct-25-05 05:20 PM by herbster
"WASHINGTON, DC—Responding to "a possible threat of terror and fright," Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced Monday that trick-or-treaters will be subject to random bag searches this Halloween season.

Individuals concealing their identities through clever disguise, and under cover of night, may attempt to use the unspecified threat of 'tricks' to extort 'treats' from unsuspecting victims," Chertoff said. "Such scare tactics may have been tolerated in the past, but they will not be allowed to continue this Halloween."

3. Yellow or orange, a treat's a treat, and not to be taken lightly

5. OMG! Not the Orange Terror!
Sounds like a job for Homeland Security! If you feel threatened by children, late October pagans or others, call the Orwellian branch of the Feds at Operator Number: 202-282-8000.
