transHomeland Security Advisory System
Current Threat Level
August 11, 2006 – The United States Government has raised the nation’s threat level for the aviation sector to:
* Code Red or Severe for flights originating in the United Kingdom bound for the United States
* Code Orange or High for all commercial aviation operating in or destined for the United States.
* The rest of the country remains at Code Yellow.
Currently, there is no indication of plotting within the United States. We believe the arrests of extremists engaged in a substantial plot to destroy multiple passenger aircraft flying from the United Kingdom to the United States have significantly disrupted the threat, but we cannot be sure that the threat has been entirely eliminated or the plot completely thwarted.
Consistent with these higher threat levels, the Transportation Security Administration is implementing changes to airport screening procedures to include:
* No liquids or gels of any kind will be permitted in carry-on baggage. Items must be in checked baggage.
Exception: baby formula, breast milk, or juice if a baby or small child is traveling; prescription medicine, insulin and essential other non-prescription medicines.
