Changing Colors

" Color coded system that the Department of Homeland Security uses to attempt to warn us about terrorist threats could soon be history or at least very different. They call it the homeland security advisory system it started in 2002 the Bush Administration used to keep everyone up today. On the potential for terrorist attacks sort of a visual version of an air raid siren. For the record right now Homeland Security -- the national threat level -- yellow meaning a significant risk of terrorist attacks. Some critics say the system doesn't work as well as should anyway now the government is planning to review it and perhaps changes. Jonathan Hunt with a -- that the problem with the -- at least from my perspective always seem to be."

" All right we're yellow were -- what do -- do. Cadillac what -- yeah it did nothing you know and that's exactly what Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano wants look at that she's appointed a seventeen member. -- forced to look into this. It's going to be Chad by former FBI director William -- that I'm Fran times and a former homeland security adviser to President George Bush it also include elected official security experts and law enforcement official. That -- looking to the strengths and weaknesses of the color code system. To decide whether it should be scrapped altogether whether it needs to be tweaked all completely revamped and based on that conclusion. To come upset with a different kind of system let's take -- long enough what that besides that did the approved the creek than the critique that we barn kids yet.

That the Bush Administration frequently used as a political tool. As a scare tactic in fact. That was obviously rejected by Republicans but on Capitol Hill today. We found general agreement across the political divide that change is necessary listen."

" What color coded system has been around for quite awhile. And really. The public this pretty much gotten home. Through this system can color code system served real purpose but I it's me it is different this time for change. -- to change should be use a number of things one of -- remorse for its specific. Should also be more region specific."

" So seven years on from the introduction about system -- most people seem to think it'd it is necessary to so replace it or dump it. It looks like most of the experts feel that a replacement of some -- is necessary and is not representative Kay was hinting. They believe it needs to be more threat specific. Is the attack that is -- aimed at nuclear facilities is it aimed at at planes isn't aimed -- towards the spot more -- specific is it the New York subway is -- Chicago high rises is hit the port of Los Angeles and they want more information for the public. What should they do to prep act for the failed to attack. And what should they do if such an attack actually happened back the house and duct tape and called children home if indeed John thank you."
