Or is there a big increase in the number of military jets flying today? I was out and about in Yongtong, Suwon before I came into work and I counted 3 sets of fighter jets flying overhead. Maybe I'm just more perceptive to it now, but I don't ever remember counting that many fighter jets flying overhead in a single day.
Has anyone else noticed an increase in this over the past couple of days?

Yeah, I know. That's the problem with posting while using a computer at work.

The threat level is probably at orange right now.

Although it is not nearly as much fun as panicking about threats from the North (which are real enough), the most likely explanation is that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in town today. I don't know for a fact, but chances are she arrived at the Seungnam Airport which is in the Suwon area.
