Is this a sudden decision, or one that was made years ago, and the ‘gubmint’ is just getting around to it!
I agree. 9/11 was over 6 years ago (and 6 homeland security budgets) and they’re just now coming up with this?
I wonder if they received a “more credible than usual” threat? Perhaps something like that Japan subway gassing a few years ago.
I’d be on super duper special alert if I lived in NYC.
I have no idea.
