I'd think they knew something specific and I guess most other people would. Smuggling it in under the guise of a drama, would make people think: oh they just thought it was a good time to include it. If they were going to run an ad campaign without a drama series to back it up, then they should of attached it to some aniversary. like once a year after 9/11 or something. Without some "excuse" to get it out, I doubt you could warn people without them getting worried.

I really think there should be more education though. Attaching to something I think would be the only way to get it out without worrying people unnecessarily.

Fair point about attaching it to something, but the hunt for ratings may cause the factual info to be attached to the liberal fiction. I think that should be avoided.
