DHS nears terror warning decision

The Department of Homeland Security is nearing a decision on its plan to replace the color-coded terror warning alert introduced after the attacks on 9/11 with a two tier detailed advisory system.

"The plan is not yet final, as we will continue to meet and exercise with our partners to finalize a plan that meets everyone's needs. We remain on track to implement the new system later this month," said Amy Kudwa, DHS spokeswoman.

The new alerts are expected to distinguish between "elevated" and "imminent" threats and could be limited to warnings for specific industries or police or communicated more broadly to the public.
