From the Paper:

"Last February, people all over the country rushed to hardware stores to stock up on duct tape and plastic sheeting, after the media reported a "code orange," which referred to a "high" threat of terrorism (Hall). Based on a government order to create a first-aid and terrorism survival kits, hundreds of people heeded the warning to stock up on supplies like duct tape and water. In the end, however, the terror threat failed to materialize. Many people were thus left wondering why they had acted out of panic and alarm."
