"NY/NJ Port Authority Police, hints that they are on the highest level of alert "(Labyrinthos)
They sure are on a higher alert. But not on the highest yet. When NYC goes Red, they get big time backup, which has not happend yet as far as I know.
at least from what I see with my own eyes, NYC is still on "low orange". When I see them stopping and searching trucks at the bridge and tunnel crossings, that's "high orange" from my perspective - and I have seen that many times. I will note if it changes tomorrow.
I said highest level of alert short of an incident in progress. If I understand correctly, "red" means an event in progress
An extemely imminent event or an event in progress.
(possibly hours away, If it hasn't already taken place)
