For the first time since the Homeland Security set up it’s color coded thread level system, today it’s been placed in the high (orange) alert level. Apparantly the only reason they raised the alert level is that there is increased communication among terrorist groups. My guess though is that if they didn’t raise the alert level and another attack did happen on 9/11, it would be very embarrassing to the Dept of Homeland Security.
