SNIPPET: “The MTA has removed weekend security details from the Queens Midtown Tunnel and the Verrazano Bridge, the Daily News learned Monday, just as the Moscow bombers sent New York into a new round of terror jitters.
No longer do MTA Bridges and Tunnels cops man booths at the tunnel exit or on the bridge’s two tower anchorages on Saturdays and Sundays.
Instead, the MTA says it has a high-tech surveillance system of cameras and monitors.”

I hope they are well — and remaining vigilant.
So Moscow has itself a man made disaster.
They are well, but they’re walking from now on.
I wonder how many other cities will follow suit?
They’ve had a number of them over the years.
