| US military bumps up threat level at bases in North America |
| 2015-05-09 |
| [Ynet] The US military has increased the threat level at bases across North America. Officials say the incremental boost will likely mean heightened vigilance and more random bag or vehicle checks. The baseline level went from A to B, although most military installations -- including the Pentagon -- were already at a slightly higher level of protection than level A. There are four levels, A through D. Army Col. Steve Warren says the increase was not triggered by a specific event. He says it was due to a generally heightened threat environment, which would include the recent terror threat and attempted attack surrounding a provocative cartoon contest in Texas. |

| #1 Dang, why can't these guys just tell us what is going on? I mean to say that I work at LAX as a construction manager/quality assurance manager AND the number of policemen and county sheriffs in battle gear with dogs has gone through the roof. Lately the airport police and the sheriffs are starting to do armed walk through the terminals. I ride the Metro and there are now dozens of sheriffs with dogs and LA city policemen at every stop. They have really dialed up the security and the presence. So what's going on? I bet there is a real threat out there and they are not talking because it doesn't fit the "narrative." |
