I wonder if they can be a little more vague...? This is probably the least helpful warning I have seen yet. Of course, since the last bi-weekly warning series has resulted in nothing happening, the odds are that most people will ignore this one as well. They don't have to do physical attacks anymore. All they have to do is leak a vague threat against a wide area and the DOJ and FBI will do their work for them.
