The age of terror has seen many changes over the past years, with a prominent example being the phenomenon that most of us are still finding hard to comprehend – ISIS, and with it the lone-wolf terror. In order to ensure a proper response to the threat of changing terror, a senior at the Department of Homeland Security ordered that the national terrorism alert system be examined and changed, if needed, due to rising threat of terror originating from inside the US.
The U.S. has never used the National Terrorism Alert System, a two-level system that replaced the color-coded terrorism alerts installed after 9/11 to spread the word about potential attacks from abroad. But after a “homegrown violent extremist” killed five service members in Chattanooga, Tenn. — and amid the expectation of more terrorist-inspired attacks — the Department of Homeland Security wants to revise and jumpstart the system.
