Color-coded terror alert system ends today

[Jenna]

The federal government on Wednesday implements a new terror alert system that will replace the color-coded terror alerts put in place after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

While the color-coded system had five levels of alerts, the new NTAS will have only two – "elevated threat," which "warns of a credible terrorist threat" to the U.S., and "imminent threat," which "warns of a credible, specific and impending terrorist threat," according to a Department of Homeland Security statement.

Ron White said it best. "there only needs to be two levels in my system... 1. Get a helmet. 2. Put on the damn helmet."
