The much-maligned, color-coded Homeland Security Advisory System is about to be consigned to the proverbial dustbin of history.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is expected to announce Thursday that the almost 9-year-old threat alert system will go away in April. It will be replaced by the new National Terror Advisory System that will focus on specific threats in geographical areas, a department source said Wednesday.
