I wonder if this has something to do with the shuttle launch?

After reading the article I am beginning to think it could be just the anticipated shuttle launch.

Astronomers will attempt to get a more accurate assessment of the asteroids size by pinging it with radar. Which makes this a "pinging" ping, I guess.

I considered the Shuttle launch since Space Command offers technical assistance to shuttle operations, but why would that require higher security at NORAD and Vandenburg? Wouldn't that be more on the lines of business as usual? How would that impact the Threat Level.

We're mainly talking about the meteor that's gonna kill us all and that it's Dallas59's fault. He will have single handedly wiped out all life on this planet.

"Space Command would not comment on the reason for the security increase."
==
I think if it were the Shuttle Launch, they would probably say so.
Of course they are only at a "slightly" heightened alert, but better safe than sorry, so I hope they are watching what they need to be watching.

Note: The following new brief is a quote:
http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/sts-121_front/index.html
Discovery Launch Set for Sunday
NASA plans to launch Space Shuttle Discovery on Sunday at 3:26 p.m. EDT. Saturday's launch attempt was scrubbed due to weather conditions at the Kennedy Space Center.
During their 12-day mission, Commander Steve Lindsey and the Discovery crew will continue evaluating new safety procedures during a visit to the International Space Station. At least two spacewalks are planned.

Wouldn't that be more on the lines of business as usual? It probably IS business as usual. Maybe "threat level" should actually be "readiness level".

From 6/26/2006
There's a new general in the pilot's seat at Air Force Space Command.
General Kevin Chilton officially assumed command during a ceremony Monday morning at Peterson Air Force Base.
Chilton received a promotion along with his new assignment. He told the military personnel at the ceremony that it's not which job they do that's important, it's how they do their jobs, I don't care if you're a chaplain, I don't care if you're a communications specialist. I don't care what badge you wear on your chest. If you're in Air Force Space Command, you are critical to this invisible force, this immensely powerful force that cannot be brought to bear without the excellence that each of you provide every day on the job. We need you.
Lieutenant General Frank Klotz has been at the helm at space command ever since General Lance Lord stepped down from the position in April.
