I wish they'd change that term "Elevated" to something else. Every time I see a crawl that says, "Terror Alert Elevated", I think it just went up.

apres 9/11

Yellow=Elevated

OR

Situation NORMAL apres 9/11

the color coded "alert" system has got to be one of the most idiotic programs to come out of washington yet...

been a big boondoggle for public service employees though, i have a former employee who is now a police officer....orange means lots of doubletime driving around in circles at water treatment plants and refineries

What kind of event or action would it take for the terror alert to go down to "average" or "pretty safe" or whatever they have that is not elevated?
