Is this really a "current event"? Shouldn't the CE template be removed? -- Tysto 2005 July 8 19:35 (UTC)
=i just wanted to know how home land sec department is planning to deal with religious extremists specially once their is no check on spread of muslim fundamentals. why can the spread of mosques and beard persons stopped and discouraged
Did anyone catch this page being cited in the 11th Circuit case about the School of the America's protest? Pretty cool.
Here's the decision -- 84.129.121.164 10:54, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
What is it with the USA and it's use of colour grading systems that don't follow the natural order found in the optical spectrum? One would expect ROYGB (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue) not ROYBG. The NOAA is similar in that its map's hurricane strike probability zones run ROGY instead of the natural ROYG.
This article needs to discuss the process of deciding what the colour of the day should be. --

Or at least describe what the various risk levels mean in concrete terms; what is the difference between "guarded", "elevated", and "severe"? User:Wiml
I don't want to sounds "partisan" or "biased," but surely the public's perception of this device should be mentioned? Given it's supposed importance, it is openly mocked by journalists, entertainers, and some government officials. -- Feitclub 21:11, Sep 5, 2004 (UTC)
I believe that anyone who searches for "terror alert", "terrorism alert", or "US alert level" should be redirected here. Trying to find this page I first had to go to the US Department of Homeland Security article and then read until I found the reference to the color coded alert level article. I mean seriously, how many will search for "homeland Security Advisory System" when searching for information?
Although I am a critic of the terror alert system, lets keep the information here objective and useable. The editorial in the first two sections should be edited or moved. I would do it, but I am not sure how to move anything less than a whole page.-- Mirokudesign 05:16, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Did you pick the title to this category? I only ask because if you in fact did come up with "Retardedity", I would almost have to insist that any statements, advice or input by you be completely dismissed as suspect, questionable with a high probability of being brazen and inflammatory.

Please see the end HSPD-5 which cleans up some old parts of HSPD-3.
"The Homeland Security Act of 2002 assigned the responsibility for administering the Homeland Security Advisory System to the Secretary of Homeland Security."
Changes in the alert is made in consultation with others (including Justice and the White House), but is the responsibility of the Secretary.

What level is this then?
Please... DO NOT refer to the Homeland Security Advisory System by colors. That is why they have names. It is not Code Red, it is Severe. And the only Code Blue's there are involve crash carts. --Signed and Sealed, JJJJust ( T C) 11:03, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

The whole paragraph about the David Cross joke about the President eating a baby may be amusing, but it doesn't contribute anything useful to the article. It only seems to be there to promote the comedian and/or make the article longer, and the "humor" affects the NPOV of the article. 64.169.12.26 22:20, 7 December 2006 (UTC) SKR
¶ Here is as good a spot as any to express the thought that was shared by many people: The color coding was pointless because (1) the media ALWAYS explained (and had to explain) the significance of the current color code and what the change in codes represented, and (2) even with explanations the various levels meant nothing to people - does yellow mean I can leave my car at the curb unlocked with the motor running? Does red mean I should shoot my neighbor when he walks his dog? Which color means my family all should hide in the attic? Sussmanbern ( talk) 08:11, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
Is anyone else bothered in an OCD way that it goes yellow blue green? Is there a source out there that says this isn't the normal way colors are ordered? 69.12.143.197 03:22, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Is anyone aware of a history of the alert level changes? I can't find anything at the official DHS site, but perhaps some interested observer might have kept track of changes since the system's inception? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.241.198.109 ( talk) 14:07, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Why even have blue and green? It'll never be used. And if it ever is used, it's like saying "hey, our security level is low right now. attack us". Retarded... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.137.169.123 ( talk) 06:26, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
I looked for this article to find out what the current threat level is. But it doesn't say anything about that. Nor does it mention the September 11th attacks. Abce2 ( talk) 16:54, 5 January 2009 (UTC)Abce2
The article mentions the the history of alerts for yellow, orange, and red but there is no mention of blue or green. Has the alert system ever gone below yellow? I've been on many flights since 9/11, and I've never seen it lower than yellow. In fact, the system seems to hover at orange at all times. It kind of reduces the credibility of the system in my mind.
I flagged this as incomplete. It is a hopeless list. It needs to perhaps include the word "major" and have criteria for being included —Preceding unsigned comment added by Touchdown Turnaround ( talk • contribs) 22:37, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
According to a July 14, 2009, press release from the DHS, the whole system is under review. Also, this release contains a complete timeline that can be used to confirm and reference the timeline as presented in the article. I include the link below in a convenient cite template for easy insertion into the article by a motivated editor. - Dravecky ( talk) 10:15, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
Columbia University academic Brigitte L. Nacos has published a study identifying a correlation between increases in terrorism alert levels and Bush's popularity. [1]
The above text was removed from the main page. There is a study, but the reference link is to an article _about_ the study, rather than the study itself. I was going to correct the sentence to provide information about the correlation (which is suspected to be cause, and which effect), but it is not possible to do so with any rigor with the reference available. Given this, this sentence does not add anything useful to the article. If a proper reference can be added, this is definitely relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nightsmaiden ( talk • contribs) 06:14, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
