We eliminated the threat coding system. It was making people either anxious, or numb, depending on who you believe.
The NTAS, national terrorism alert system, has a public page where we used to be able to see the current color coded threat assessment. As of the time of this posting there are: no current alerts, and no expired alerts. That’s right: nothing at all.
The system has not published an update since 05 SEP 2013.
(Not a typo... 2013. Almost a year. Think about what’s happened in the last year with Hamas, ISIL, Al Qaeda, etc. and let that thought sink in.)
I am sadly reminded of Ron White...
Current status should probably be:
Put on your f#@$# helmet.
Or, “You cain’t fix stooped!”
