Tom Ridge will raise the alert for Washington DC and NYC to LEVEL ORANGE
NYC has been ORANGE, its goin to RED.
I've spent the last two years working on some security-related preparations at specific facilities in the New York City area (I'll leave it at that -- no more detail is needed), and in some respects this color-coded scheme has caused more problems than it is worth.
We've always been at orange here in the City. High orange is what we'll get. Probably paramilitaries with burp guns and traffic stops.
