That's right. There will be no more color-coded terror alerts. Homeland Security will slowly phase this out until April 27th.
The Obama administration will take the next three months to roll out a replacement, which will be called the National Terrorism Advisory System. The new plan calls for notifying specific audiences about specific threats.In some cases, it might be a one-page threat description sent to law enforcement officials describing the threat, what law enforcement needs to do about it and what the federal government is doing, one of the officials said.
When agency officials think there is a threat the public should know about, they will issue an announcement and rely on news organizations and social media outlets to get the word out.

I don't know how I feel about this. It could be a good thing, it could be a bad thing. I'm not exactly sure the color-coded system was doing anyone much good. It may have served it's purpose.
What's your opinion? Good or bad? If you could replace it, what would you replace it with?
