* CODE POLKA DOT: Hundreds of terrorists planning to smuggle into US in one tiny clown car.
* CODE BURNT UMBER: Terrorists have taken the Crayola factory.
* CODE ULTRAVIOLET: Bin Laden in his parents' rec room listening to "Dark Side of the Moon"
* CODE KHAKI: Al Qaeda has infiltrated the Gap.
* CODE PAISLEY: Terrorists have struck 1967.
