THE SECURITY STATE IS HEIGHTENED
PLEASE BE ALERT
This has been displayed on the LED sign in the entrance of the Crown
Prosecution Service for several weeks. It can be seen from the pavement
when walking on the
Old
Bailey (I will not
take a picture). Not sure when they started having this message
regularly flashing up. Is it related to the
threat level,
downgraded from critical to severe on 2007-07-04? Or is it another
unrelated scale? Surely the CPS doesn't need its own security
assessment distinct from that of the UK?
(Clarification: the title is meant to be ironic and not a reflection of any paranoid tendencies!)
