The homeland security office instituted a stoplight chart of national warning, ranging from green through blue, yellow and orange, to red. The idea was based on twenty years of experience in Britain. It is a good one, but the United States lacks Britain's experience, so no one--not state and local officials, much less private citizens-knows yet what the colors mean. With time and experience, the DHS intelligence assessors could help the colors begin to acquire some meaning for public officials and private citizens alike.
