Excellent, thank you. I hope they catch these guys, sounds like someone may be getting close to them. They eventually all make that one critical mistake.

11 January 2004-- The Department of Homeland Security lowered the national color-coded advisory level to yellow or "elevated" last week after the holidays passed without incident and the amount of specific threat information lowered to manageable levels. By his own remarks, Secretary Ridge all but openly criticized the effectiveness of the color-coded system, noting that various geographical areas of the country will remain on "high" alert and certain public and private entities will do the same. We have verified that private couriers (DHL, FedEx, UPS) were recently advised by the Department of Homeland Security to step up the security of their physical assets to unprecedented levels. Law enforcement agencies in New York, DC, Las Vegas, and Chicago were also advised to maintain their high alert levels. The nations nuclear power plants also remain at high alert levels based on the directives from the Department of Homeland Security, and cruise lines have recently been alerted to possible attacks and hijackings while at sea. Accordingly, the threat is far from over, and is highly specific, something the color coded alert system cannot properly or effectively address in its current state.
