alright mass transit systems here in new york across the nation are being warned
to watch out for terrorists
mill alert comes after the three suspects linked to the terrorism queens
appeared in court
the f_b_i_ in homeland security department are recommending that transit
security officials conduct random sweeps
at terminals an abort trains and buses
a security alert for mass transit systems nationwide sparked by the
arrested three suspects in queens tear investigation
as we said we have a terror expert with us this morning is going to talk to us
about how we can kind of
get around with the system
tom ruskin is a security analyst
he's a former n_y_p_d_ NYPD detective highly decorated
and now the president of CMP Group Security thank you so much for being
here
sometime you know
with with the president and
with u_n_ dignitaries in town well being told to use mass transit
and meanwhile
visits alert on the mass transit remind
as as citizens what do we do what old
what a what should we be aware of when we go on the trains and buses for first
the citizens of the city should feel very comforted by the fact that the new
york city police department every single day those with the federal government is
now telling of the city student they do random sweeps commissioner kelly has
been very proactive at putting additional cops and special issues in
the subways to do re in a bad checks anyone who's taken the subways in the
last couple years has seen these units in the subways checking bags and looking
around and looking for the potential of someone who may be targeting the subways
not even blowing up just targeting writer but as someone who rides the
subway or the boss
what should we look for i mean you know one of the fleas camping on every train
and everybody's
so what should we be away citizens all the ice and use of the police department
so they should look for anything suspicious anything that's the intent to
them if they see some will leave a bank purposely or accidentally
notify someone immediately that that banks there if they see something that
just really raises the hair on the back of and that they should tell somebody
that the f_b_i_ has said in reports that this is the most serious
terror plot
since nine eleven
and a little frightening that this is still going on in the same age but at
the same time comforting
at the n_y_p_d_'s took action before something actually happens remembered it
was the n_y_p_d_ has fought for joint terrorist task force with the f_b_i_
then uncover displayed between new york and cop and denver a couple of colorado
so the police department new york is the best-prepared
the people of us of the city should be rest assured that the police departments
doing everything on a daily basis there have been other on plots on uncovered a
couple years ago they uncovered the plot to do with union square station
into brooklyn with targeting
diagrams of the union square station the police department deals with this every
single day and writer should just be more aware of what's going on and with
u_n_ assembly especially people should just be a little bit more aware yes i'm
hearing that investigators are also
looking at storage facilities in in our area to see if maybe there is some
explosive chemicals
that are being stored there have you heard that reporter on reported on the
news stations so that the same way you reporting you here this morning
that's not something that's uncommon
police departments all over the country are watching chemicals that could be
used in
producing a bomb or truck bomb orabase showcase bob and they're watching those
places where you could get those materials
so what should we know
do in our day-to-day lives as well
here because
driftwood
this is something we dealt with more when nine eleven okay
and then not only got complacent but we
adjusted to looking like this and now we hearing this again
how we handle this in our day-to-day lives
people have to keep the stress level them and understand that law enforcement
around this country
as well as in this city are on top of this they understand the threats they
understand what they need to do and they had just as the calls they've calling
tactical
plans every single day to adjust to these threats
are known and loved known by the public at times
so really go about your life if you see something reported that's all you can go
tascam security experts say there is a measuring here fresh air
