As much as I try to protect my identity online, this is a story that I cannot just let go. Scotts Bluff County Sheriff Jim Lawson and the sheriff’s department in my town has decided that there is a major threat of terrorism and that the county needs to adopt the “See something, say something,” mentality in Western Nebraska.

Lawson says he obtained permission from the New York Office of Homeland Security to use the slogan for a local campaign after seeing an article in a magazine. The Department of Homeland Security has announced intentions to expand the campaign nationally.

“If it can work for them, why not use it here?” Lawson said.

It won’t work here because there honestly isn’t a need for it here. This is a small town, with no major venues, no tall buildings, and no reason for a terrorist to want to come here. Everyone knows everyone else. There are plenty of racists around so you’d quickly hear if there were any “towelheads” in our midst.
