Well I have been asking the question for days why don't they raise it.

• High Condition (Orange). A High Condition is declared when there is a high risk of terrorist attacks. In addition to the Protective Measures taken in the previous Threat Conditions, Federal departments and agencies should consider the following general measures in addition to the agency-specific Protective Measures that they will develop and implement:
  1. Coordinating necessary security efforts with Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies or any National Guard or other appropriate armed forces organizations;
  2. Taking additional precautions at public events and possibly considering alternative venues or even cancellation;
  3. Preparing to execute contingency procedures, such as moving to an alternate site or dispersing their workforce; and
  4. Restricting threatened facility access to essential personnel only.

I wonder if this based on intelligence or is just because tomorrow is 9/11. I wouldn't be suprised if there were small scale attacks tomorrow similar to the LAX shooting on July 4th.

I think this is the first time they've ever raised it.

[Damocles]

If I recall correctly this is the first time this has changed since it was implemented. Something must be coming to the surface in the intelligence gathering world.

Be vigilent!

"I wonder if this based on intelligence or is just because tomorrow is 9/11. I wouldn't be suprised if there were small scale attacks tomorrow similar to the LAX shooting on July 4th."

It does have to do with 9/11, partly....and is probably combined with the guy who was pacing, measuring and filming the Washington Monument and Pentagon.

Last week I saw posts where they said the level of "chatter" was increasing. And they caught some pretty bad people last week, in Germany.
