[QUOTE=GunFox;26302622]In defense of the color code system, it wasn't really for civilians. Each level had specific instructions facilities like nuclear power plants and federal buildings were supposed to follow based on how much of a threat was perceived. Things like how many guards are kept on duty, shift length, response protocols, etc etc. The system was very much designed for use by the government for the government. I have no idea why it was ever made public.[/QUOTE] Pretty much but it was made public to hopefully help them become aware of the same dangers and failed at that task. Whatever else they bring in will work the same or be revised and still perform the same for government uses while actually fulfilling it's goal of helping the public. The colour code system was ineffective in some areas, this is aiming to fix that.
Also, Mr. Ridge said in his biography that he had no idea how the color alerts were set, and that his subordinates in the Department of Homeland Security (That is such a Nazi Germany type name) were instructed by Carl Rove as to the current color.
Why do you need colors to tell how big is the risk of having a terrorist attack? Fuck sakes, it even looks like their using "terrorism baloons" to do terrorism forecasts as if terrorism was like the weather.
put on the damn helmet
The colors are not doing it anymore, the people are not fearful enough! Lets introduce something else to keep the fear alive.

I didn't like those anyway, as someone who flies a lot, while waiting in a security line, seeing a sign that says "THREAT LEVEL ORANGE - HIGH RISK OF TERRORIST ATTACK" is a little unnerving.
