I think it works better if you say that the system Is on
alert all the time. It's just waiting for conditions to be
met (a high security tally) before it goes after a user.
And sometimes when there's a lot of activity the alert
status increases, and vice versa when it's been slow for
awhile (as reflected in the optional rule for increasing or
decreasing target numbers for system activity). IMHO
