In my neck of the woods, there's been a modified " Code Orange" for quite some time ( based on observations of military air traffic, heightened police presence, etc. )

They just haven't announced it as such.

The Department of Homeland Security, anticipating possible terror attacks, is expected to raise its color-coded threat barometer on Tuesday by one step, to orange, which will prompt tighter security measures at government buildings, airports, seaports, military bases and other facilities.

Wow. I guess I'll do the honors. This is vey series.

Now won't I feel like an ass if there is a terrorist strike.

This is why the color coding is soooo stupid, and I'm a huge Ashcroft & Ridge fan: What level is orange? Highest? Numbers would be so much easier.
