That orange level is a joke because it’s been that way - never lowered or raised since 9-11 that I know of. So I’m guessing it’s because we are always in danger or the government is just continuing in CYA mode.
Airline level was raised to red in 2006 after this http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5632616 We here at FR/TM were following inbound planes on airline tracking sites - mostly to Reagan national because of threats.
BTW - welcome to Free Republic - I always wonder how people choose their screen name - what does yours stand for?

Well Hello, Thank you for your welcome...
name..are my initials, simple to remember, friends call me cw.
Was linked to Homeland Security,( (years since there), thought they had stopped using threat level, was surprised to see. Figured since latest threats they had it back up again, brought it here just in case. Dah..wrong!
At any rate, TM has been helpful already. Certainly appears you’re all quite aware what’s going on, with some who “walk where angels fear to tread.” Now how interesting is that!
I’ve been known to launge into the deep...not one to tread water and accept the status quo when it comes to news. Need to know how things really are.
Enjoy studying prophecy as well, but not as some who go off the deep end and think every war or conflict is the end. But we are living in unusul times...world stage is on the move again.
Thanks again.....cw
Never. I have never trusted a government website to tell me the truth about anything. I go where angels fear to tread...and I WILL find the truth.
That's because you care

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) US Embassy warns of possible terrorist attacks on Indonesia’s Bali island on New Year’s Eve.
I curled up & felt like a scared 5 year old when I read this
Heard yesturday 2/3rds of Imans in Britain are on public assistance...am still speechless...we’re next unless measures are taken to stop it.
Welcome, CW. Dot collectors and connectors are always welcome here. The best bunch of FReepers hang out on this thread.
Well initials are easy enough - :) We’re always glad to have new eyes and ears searching for information.
The TM thread kind of goes up and down with the threat level. As you can see by reading the header titles we’ve been doing this for many years.
Yes - makes you stop and think before going to some sites. At least I do.
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been leading the State Department’s role in the review from her home in Chappaqua, the official said, while Deputy Secretary Jack Lew has been manning the shop here in Washington. Lew and Undersecreatary for Management Patrick Kennedy have participated interagency meetings on Clinton’s behalf.
Though the always-transparent (NOT!) White House web site contains no news of it, President Barack Obama has reportedly signed an executive order yes, another one. This time, hes tasked the United States Postal Service to help distribute countermeasures in the event of a biological weapons attack within the United States.
Why the Postal Service? Because, according to a New York Times report, of its capacity for rapid residential delivery. Yeah, right.
AFP reports President Obama has given Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius 180 days to come up with the plan for the USPS. Sigh.

Was thinking about the Times Square celebration last night. If it's called off due to security concerns, the muslims win. If we don't call it off and thousands are killed the muslims win. Almost a no win situation.
Filled up the gas tank this morning. I usually wait until I'm on my way home, but I wanted a full tank now in case things go sideways today.
Worried here. Will check back later.
Thanks, I was wondering where she was hunkered down with the pillows over her head.
LOL - wonder where her other half is?

Second, the idea that we can readily identify and profile international terrorists is dangerously misleading. Abdulmuttalab, a Nigerian, does not fit the image of a Pakistani or Arab extremist. Neither did Richard Reid, the shoe bomber, or some of the seemingly well-adjusted British plotters who intended to bomb trans-Atlantic airliners in 2006. In fact, al Qaeda has deliberately sought to recruit Westerners as operatives to take advantage of any stereotype we have about what a typical terrorist looks like. The fact that a U.S. Army major carried out a successful terrorist attack at Fort Hood ought to confound our expectations about the kind of people who become violent extremists.
