  • Color Bind Jacob N. Shapiro and Dara Kay Cohen Lessons from The
    Color Bind Color Bind Jacob N. Shapiro and Lessons from the Failed Homeland Dara Kay Cohen Security Advisory System From its inception in 2002, the color-coded terrorist alert system known as the Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS) has been both the U.S. government’s most visible do- mestic counterterrorism tool and the brunt of endless jokes and derision. Un- derlying these comic insults, however, remain serious questions about the system: Does it work? If not, what are the central problems? And how might these problems be eliminated, or at least mitigated, in an alternative system? In this article, we argue that compliance with a terrorist alert system must be based on conªdence in the value of the information it provides. The HSAS was not designed to generate such conªdence; rather, its designers assumed that the public would trust the national leadership and believe in the utility of the system’s information. Over time, as the system became increasingly perceived as politically manipulated, there was no built-in mechanism to recover lost conªdence, and as a result the HSAS has failed. An effective terrorism alert system has one central task: to motivate actors to take costly protective measures. In the United States, national leaders do not have the statutory authority to order speciªc actions from constituent govern- ments and private industry. Instead, the federal government must convince them that the desired actions are worthwhile. Conditional on an alert being is- sued, these actors must believe that the costs of protection are less than the ex- pected losses of not providing protection.

Anna works in education by day but often spends extra hours searching for penny stocks worth betting on. In the days after Christmas her screen, and those of countless others around the globe, had started to hum with activity. A movement of retail traders was coalescing around the idea that money could be made from taking down Wall Street hedge funds. All they needed to do was pile into some of the worst companies on the market in sufficient numbers that the short-selling hedge funds would be caught out.

In ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The RHSQ Bulletin, July 2021 – Page 2 1862, he migrated to Queensland. He held various positions in the then Department of Public Lands, and acted briefly as police magistrate for the Cape York town of Somerset. Between 1875 and 1903 he was appointed police magistrate at a number of remote and often ‘troublesome’ settlements. He returned to Somerset in this role in 1875, moving his headquarters to Thursday Island in 1877. He became a notable figure when the Queensland Premier, perceiving a threat from German expansionist intentions, asked him to take possession of unoccupied eastern New Guinea, in Queensland’s name. This annexation was not recognised by the British government until 1884. Chester retired in 1903 and died in Brisbane in 1914. (Ref: G.
