U.S. Headed for 'Heightened Alert' Stage

Government officials have been quietly stepping up counterterror efforts out of a growing concern that al Qaeda or similar organizations might try to capitalize on the spate of extremely high-profile events in the coming months, sources tell ABC News.

Anti-terror officials in the U.S. cite this summer and fall's lineup of two major political parties' conventions, November's general election and months of transition into a new presidential administration as cause for heightened awareness and action.

I'm sure anyone with a decent memory will remember the series of conveniently-timed "terror alerts" during the 2004 Bush-Kerry presidential race. I wonder if we'll be seeing a repeat?
