"We learned of the terror
plot last night, and since then, we have been in constant
communication with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security.
While no locations in Illinois are known to be targets, we continue
to monitor the situation closely. For people who do have to travel
today, please be aware that all domestic flights have been elevated
to an orange level alert. That means you should give yourself plenty
of extra time at the airport. And most importantly, if you see any
suspicious activity, please report it to the local authorities
immediately. If we're vigilant and if we go about our lives as we
normally would, we can each do our part to stand up to the
terrorists and show them we won't be bullied."
