First They Come For Your Tallboy, Then They Reveal The Massive Security Holes That Will Lead To Your Untimely Demise
And why get all up in our grill about drinking on the train when there are such massive security holes in the system? The NYPD, conducting more far-flung undercover operations, determines that if some douchetit suicider wanted to, he could smuggle a bomb aboard any Metro-North train:
Posted: December 14th, 2006 | Filed under: Makes Jack Bauer Scream, "Dammit!"Police commissioner Raymond Kelly warned yesterday that homegrown terrorists could easily build bombs upstate and smuggle them onto commuter trains headed to the city.
“It’s reasonable to assume that any attack on New York City may very well be put together — the logistics, the planning aspects of the plot — outside the city,” Kelly said.
Kelly said the NYPD dispatched six intelligence cops to Albany to test weaknesses in the metro area’s counterterrorism safeguards last summer. The cops drove from Albany to Poughkeepsie then got aboard a Metro-North train to Grand Central Terminal, much the way terrorists in Britain schlepped their homemade explosives about 180 miles to the subways and buses of London in July 2005.
“It was done to see if there are holes in our system,” Kelly said at a briefing for about 50 police chiefs and prosecutors from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and other northeast states.
“It is fair to say there were things that needed adjustment,” Kelly said, refusing to detail the problems that the cops had uncovered.
