There must be heavy international traffic today as everyone heads home from the winter games in SLC. I would imaging that lots of packed flights from SLC have been heading to Dulles and JFK all day. It would only make sense to increase the security level today.I don't think the Olympic attendees would make any blip on the normal ebb and flow of people entering and leaving the country. And besides, most would exit from the west coast. Russia, China, Japan and even Scandanavia are better served from the west coast in terms of distance form SLC
