If NYC is on Orange Alert, and...

The homeland security money is federal, not state.

And the first report I read made it sound as if the bulk of the information on the computer they stole merely coroborated information they'd had for three years, hence my reaction.

Here's my question, though. If the new info is three years old, does this mean NYC will now be on active Orange Alert from now on? I mean, if there's no expiration date on this sort of info?

I'm not saying they shouldn't act. I agree with glo that if something happened, they'd had this info and they'd done nothing, that would be bad. I'm posing the question. What IS the appropriatte reaction to the discovery of this sort of information?
