Yes, the threat level was raised to red BUT ONLY FOR FLIGHTS ORIGINATING FROM THE UK. That means that the threat level for all domestic flights (which happen to make up 98.7% of all flights in this country) was Orange. It also means that the threat level for say, the Sears Tower, was not Red. Nor was the Empire State Building. Nor was EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Let's recap. The threat level was raised to Red for 1.3% of the flights into this country. The threat level for literally everything else in this country was not.
Host, left, center, right or indifferent isn't relevant here.

It's all about what actually happened, which was the initial reason for my post.
Hopefully I haven't made the banned list, but let me know if I am so "honored".
