Bush scales back threat alert
From John King
CNN Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush approved Tuesday lowering the government's assessment of terrorist threats down to "elevated" from "high," ending two weeks of a higher alert.
The decision means the country's color-coded alert status will drop from orange back to yellow, the midpoint of the scale.

I believe that it is way for the government to show they are "on top of" the pulse of terrorist's threats, unlike a year ago.

The office building I work in now syncs security procedures to these alerts. e.g. when it went down to yellow they opened another set of entry doors and stopped wanding people with metal detectors. </font>

What metal objects aren't permitted in your building?
