I'm not sure, I do not believe we went to orange last xmas. If I am recalling correctly it has been over a year since the level was raised? Maybe someone has some better info on that. I still think xmas is a tough time to pull something off, but we do have christmas and chanukah overlapping this year, so the next few days would be prime times to hit both religions fundamentalists to so much.
It was raised in May of this year.
