Say Goodbye To The Color Coded Terror Alert System

by admin on 11/26/2010 · 1 comment

We are red that the chances of you continuing to hear newscasters referring to the current terrorist threat level as a color are green.  According to the report:

The Obama administration has decided to discard one of the most visible reminders of the post-Sept. 11 anti-terror policies installed by President George W. Bush: the color-coded warning system. An eight-year fixture at airports and government buildings (and comedy routines), the system—which critics said was too vague and amounted to a political scare tactic—will be discontinued once the Department of Homeland Security figures out a replacement.

The plan reportedly is to craft something that’s more descriptive and less reliant on colors. One idea being considered is to go from five threat tiers to two: elevated and imminent.

Are terrorists still on your brain???
