DHS Color-Coded Terror Alert Abandoned? Take A Look At The Stats
Click here to read an analysis of how the system was used to scare us silly before the 2004 presidential election, and what's happened since.

From the article:

"After Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff reacted to the Mumbai train bombing earlier this month by saying "there are no plans to raise the nation’s threat level," just four days after failing to mention the terror threat system at all when announcing the U.S. had helped end "a terrorist network that was in the planning stages of an attack against the transportation system in the New York-New Jersey area," I had to wonder, what happened to the "flexibility" of the terror threat system?"
