Back to Black and White

The nation's color-coded terror warning system will be phased out beginning this week, according to government officials familiar with the plan.

  LA Times

I didn’t realize we still had it. Does this mean they don’t think there’s enough threat any more to warrant even a stupid barometer? Or just that we’re on permanent orange alert? Apparently neither. It just means the general public doesn’t deserve to know. The new system will simply warn certain people and agencies about specific threats, which I assumed they were doing already.

When agency officials think there is a threat the public should know about, they will issue an announcement and rely on news organizations and social media outlets to get the word out.

Grapevine.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
