alert level: "run away!!!"

[Ann Archy]

Oh man.....wait til they say there's a big threat in DC and then a terror hit happens in Columbus Ohio or someplace other than where the alert was for!!!!!

I never found the Color Coded thing offensive or stupid....I thought it made sense.

"Colored threats"?

Sounds as if ol' Nappy is being a tad racist, eh?

[ColdOne]

“These alerts will include a clear statement So going with the track record this bunch has.. it will be clear as mud!

[Mortrey]

snip-
“You might have heard that Naps Napolitano has been playing with the Bush coloring book on terror alerts which no one could figure out, including terrorists. That is probably one of the good things about Mike Cherthoff and that bunch is they made things so complicated for themselves that they left Americans alone.

Obama though has apparently found a way to help terrorists who are invested in the Stock Market deal with Geithner playing the market for his cartel cronies. Naps new system is one which she will now intimately name exact American conomberates yes I mean conBOMBerates as this is terrorism, which are under threat of attack.”

Janet N is the baseline from which all stupidity should be measured.

Napolitano: Colored threats replaced by 'formal, detailed alerts' in three months

It is possible to have both

[SparkyBass]

We’ve raised the Alert Level from Eggshell to Ecru...

[The Duke]

Actually, a numeric level like the US military’s ‘DEFCON’ level would make the most sense. That way you don’t have to memorize which color is more severe.

The ranking Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson (Miss.), applauded the ending of the color-coded system, saying that many of his fellow lawmakers thought it was used by the Bush administration as “a political scare tactic.”

Bush's Fault!

[Ann Archy]

Well, what are the numbers??? Orange...Caution....RED....SEVERE ALERT sounds OK to me. We should ALWAYS be at Orange!!

[freedumb2003]

<<I never found the Color Coded thing offensive or stupid....I thought it made sense.<<

Except it never changed. It started at Orange and has been on Orange nonstop for, what, 8 years? A system that can’t discern has no value.

I think this a blind squirrel finding a nut.

Glad to see that she has secured the border and has time to play with the warning system.
Heard on the radio that this new system will be location specific. Wanna bet that there are terrorist threats from Wasilla, Alaska?

[OB1kNOb]

Code Yellow will be replaced by the detail alert message, "Elevated Threat".

Code Orange will be replaced by the detail alert message, "Imminent Threat".

Code Red will be replaced by the detail alert message, "OMG! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"

My two-tiered system: “Get a helmet.” “Put it on.”

(Swiped from Ron White, who’s mother is very proud of him.)

It should never have chnaged! We will ALWAYS be at ‘CAUTION”....it would only go to RED if a ton of Terrorists were blowing themselves up in crowded areas!
