QuoteThe Department of Homeland Security is ending its color-coded terror alert system in April as expected, CNN's National Security Contributor Fran Townsend has confirmed.
In its place, DHS will move to a system that focuses on specific threats in geographical areas. It will be called the National Terror Advisory System. DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano will officially make the announcement tomorrow at a "State of America's Homeland Security" speech at George Washington University.
so go from one system that no one understood to an even more confusing system that will never be fully explained?
