Feds to roll out new terror alert system
The Hill ^ | 12/7/2015 | Julian Hattem

Federal officials are planning to roll out a new terror threat system in coming days, on the heels of new warnings about home-grown attacks.

The new system would be the third major federal warning system in the years since Sept. 11, 2001, beginning with the original color-coded Homeland Security Advisory System, which was abandoned in 2011.

The current National Terrorism Advisory System is meant to notify the public about an "imminent" or "elevated" threat to the country. However, it has never been used, in part because the bar for triggering an alert is too high, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said on Monday morning.

"It depends on a specific credible threat to the homeland," Johnson said at an event hosted by Defense One. "I believe we need to get beyond that and go to a new system that has an intermediate level to it. I'll be announcing soon, hopefully, what our new system is, which I think reflects our new environment and new realities."

Jeh Johnson and the DHS can go stick their alert system up their traitorous arses

Anything they come up with is approved by the Muslim Brotherhood and Obama but I repeat myself.

I have a color scheme for them and it is RED WHITE and BLUE. That will be the proud colors we will be flying when we storm DC and take back our country.

I feel “secure” now that they’ve come up with new color coded and happy alerts!

If our gubmit wanted to really do something to bring about safety, they’d shut down every single mosque and muslim training camp in the nation, cancel all visas of islamic students, instantly prevent all muslims from coming here, and dare the ones who remain to open their pie holes and get violent.
