MPN 11
ORAC has summed it up nicely and I think he also talked about areas in which tracks are not initiated (primarily for system/de-cluttering reasons) in an earlier post. To answer your specific question I do not believe that post 9/11, any credible ADGE system (even in its most basic form) would change the way it does business based on some type of "alert" system. Let me qualify that, they may become more "active" - depending on INT, but I believe that there is a level below which they would not go. I base this rather sweeping statement on my 34 years of ADGE experience - at all levels, from ab-initio to inter-facing with the 'political level'. However, in saying this I do not discount the "human factor" - some poor airman on a 12 or 15 hour shift missing something, and the supervisory chain also failing to pick it up etc etc.
