Homeland Security Threat Monitor

In early 2002, the President of the United States George W. Bush created the Department of Homeland Security which is responsible for protecting the nation against the threat of terrorism. The Department of Homeland Security introduced the Homeland Security Advisory System that uses a color-coded scale of threat levels to communicate with the public about the general severity of current terrorist threats against the nation. The Department of Homeland Security shows the current Threat Level on their web site. The Homeland Security Threat Monitor is a small Windows application that runs in your system tray, showing the current terrorism threat level. It periodically checks to make sure the information is up to date by contacting the Department of Homeland Security web server. FeaturesUnobtrusive placement in the Windows tray. Several different icon styles. Blinking notification of increased threat level. Cooperates well with dial-up connections.
