I wonder why they have'nt raised the alert status?

Yes, why aren't we at Orange alert!?!

I think they try to avoid panicking people.

I think if we really knew the real nature and potential devastation of the threat, we'd all be leaving the US in droves, which alone would create a disaster.

When they lowered the alert level for most areas a few weeks ago, I believe the airports remained at level orange.
