mangoria Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Terror Alert Level Will Drop to Yellow By JOHN J. LUMPKIN, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - The nation's terror alert level will be lowered one step, to yellow, on Friday, a Homeland Security official said. However, airports and airlines will keep their high alert status. Homeland Security officials were expected to announce the change later Friday at a news conference, an agency official said on condition of anonymity. The official offered no reason for reducing the alert to the middle level of the five-color scale, but the move suggests the immediate threat of attacks on U.S. targets has abated somewhat.

SteveAustin Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 eh not really sure...I think the yellow is pretty normal but there are levels below it. the orange is high and I think red is the highest...but I doubt we'd ever see a red alert.

yoink Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 the "codes" have always been around....I learned as a yungun the set of color codes from Jeff Cooper about personal safety....and they are pretty much the same thing.. Comments on Security By Jeff Cooper White – Oblivious to the world around you. This would be the state you’re in reading a good book. Dangerous when in public. Yellow-relaxed awareness. The state you should be in whenever you’re out and about. Orange-you’ve identified a specific possible threat Red-you just need your mental trigger tripped (sight of a gun etc.) to use deadly force. Thats what I Use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I'm waiting for the level to drop to 'cookie monster; but I dont think it will ever happen. Neither will it hit 'elmo' because then if nothing happens, it will prove the entire alert system is bunk. http://www.photobucket.com/albums/1003/mike24k/terror-all.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiss cheese Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 good point Kilo. When in doubt choose Bert. And why would it ever go to Oscar? It wont, not in this Lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weapon X Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Unless people are feeling frisky again and need another reminder. Then it will go to Elmo, and something just might happen. We need the Justice League of America to dethrone Bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Well, to me it seems like the whole thing is backwards. Because as soon as it ever did hit green (oscar), terrorists would know to hit us up - because we weren't expecting it again. I think the lower the level, the higher chance we have of being attacked.
