Don't worry, ousted American Idol finalist Michael Johns isn't referring to national security or anything.

But while he seemed to be taking his shocking elimination in stride earlier today, Johns said it should serve as a warning to all the viewers who were just as surprised as he was when last night's results were revealed.

"Once again, it shows you no one's safe," he said. "The public can think week-to-week, 'Oh, they did a good performance. They're coming off a good two or three week run. They'll be through. I'm going to vote for someone else who maybe didn't have as good a night.' But you've just got to vote for your favorite."
