Yellow!


Remember the "Homeland Security Advisory System", green is low, all the way up to red for severe. This is the terrorist alert graphic.

Well, it turns out its still in use.

Department of Homeland Security: Current Threat Level
March 24, 2008 — The United States government's national threat level is Elevated, or Yellow.

The U.S. threat level is High, or Orange, for all domestic and international flights. Only small amounts of liquids, aerosols and gels are allowed in carry-on baggage.

While there continues to be no credible information at this time warning of an imminent threat to the homeland, the department's strategic threat perspective is that we are in a period of increased risk.

- All Americans should continue to be vigilant, take notice of their surroundings, and report suspicious items or activities to local authorities immediately.
Recapping: We are at yellow.
