Are you sure?
I thought Eurotwit said there's one higher level?
OMG!
I would stay away from the tube and lorries. Go with the black cabs.
PLEASE disregard my other response to you. I had thought you had answered a different question from a different post... I screwed that up.
Excerpt from Reuter’s news service article entitled “Britain raises international terror threat level”

“Britain hosts an international conference on Afghanistan on January 28 that London says may set a timetable for transferring responsibility for some areas to Afghan control.
Those present will include Afghan President Hamid Karzai, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and foreign ministers of Afghanistan’s other main partners.
It will be preceded by a January 27 meeting on Yemen, which declared war on al Qaeda last week under pressure for a crackdown on the global militant group after its Yemen-based wing said it was behind an attempt on December 25 to blow up a U.S. passenger jet.
The West and neighboring Saudi Arabia fear Yemen could become a failed state, allowing al Qaeda to use the country as a launchpad for further international attacks.
The meeting brings together foreign ministers of Yemen’s main development partners.”
I bet it’s not air flights, try to be reassured

Been out most of day-trying to catch up.
The only thing recent was the threat againt the Brittish athletes who were playing in New Dehli. Again, it was England and India in the cross-hairs. It will be interesting to see if the security is stepped up when I head to Penn Station in a few. You can always tell when they step it up when you see the robocops with machine guns standing guard outside the Amtrak trains.
So, in Ron White’s world, we’ve picked up the damn helmet, but we haven’t put the damn helmet on yet.
OKAY, your UK TIMES link says SEVERE - HIGHLY LIKELY
that’s our RED, right?
Brown?

no comment or acknowledgement from our
do nothings here. but of course since there
seems to be a new cult of secrecy amongst
top govt officials .....
Red/orange.....One more level RED Alert!
“Critical” is the highest. So they’re orange right now.

On 14 August 2006, the threat level was LOWERED to severe (from Critical).
Dear Lord - same news as UK TIMES
LOL. Then again, your first response is actually the truth.
No, “critical” is the highest in the U.K. so them being on “severe” right now is equivalent to orange.
