2002年3月，布什政府新成立的国土安全部隆重推出了不同颜色的恐怖警报系统：绿色代表“低”；蓝色,“保护”;黄色,“提升”;橙色,“高”;红色,“严重”。从那以后，这个国家就一直在黄色和橙色之间摇摆。生活焦躁不安地安定下来，从各方面看来，都是永久的，在光谱的偏红一端，宁静的蓝绿色已成为过去。“安全”这个词根本不值得用颜色来形容。“安全”这个词似乎已经脱离了人们的认知范围。频谱显示，不安全感是新的常态
In March 2002, with much pomp, the Bush administration’s new Department of Homeland Security introduced its color-coded terror alert system: green, “low”; blue, “guarded”; yellow, “elevated”; orange, “high”; red, “severe.” The nation has danced ever since between yellow and orange. Life has restlessly settled, to all appearances permanently, on the redward end of the spectrum, the blue-greens of tranquility a thing of the past. “Safe” doesn’t even merit a hue. Safe, it would seem, has fallen off the spectrum of perception. Insecurity, the spectrum says, is the new normal.1
