ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The New York City Police Department is investigating what it deems a credible tip that 19 operatives have been deployed to New York to place bombs in the subway, and security in the subways will be increased, sources told ABC News."
Bloomberg: This is the first time we have had a threat with this level of specificity.

What?
Bloomberg is wretched. There will still be RANDOM searches.
NYPD: Extra Security On Subways
Acting On 'Credible Threat' To Subway SystemBy Marcus Solis
New York -WABC, October 6, 2005) - The New York City police are responding to what they are considering a credible threat to the subway system.
Eyewitness News reporter Marcus Solis joins us live from the 96th Street subway station with the story.
Sources say that the NYPD has stepped up patrols on the city subways over the last couple of days - especially Thursday after developing information that has been deemed credible.
One source says that it may be 85 percent credible. Apparently the target is the New York City subways system - this information was learned after a raid between an FBI/CIA team in Iraq.
They arrested a number of people and apparently during that raid they learned information that New York City subways were perhaps being targeted. Because police have not been able to discount that threat they are taking it seriously and have deployed additional resources.
At the 96th Street subway station there are bag checks in place and we're also hearing that various officers from a number of different units have been told to report to staging areas where they are awaiting further instructions.
Whether or not they'll be deployed in the subway system is unclear.
Bloomberg: Go about your business as usual.
[duh!]
University of Oklahoma Bomber -- New Information, Updated Links
Bloomberg saying a news agency had the info 2 days ago and were asked to sit on it so as not to hamper investigation efforts. Thanks them for cooperation. Ray Kelly up now.
Their "moral high ground" actually being located in the midst of a political swamp.
Press held info for 2 days? Wow. Fuel to the fire that they're playing that game in OK too.
Bloomberg is going to take Subway home today and tomorrow morning.. to live like you always do just be alert and there will be more NYPD out in Full Force!
Emerson's book is the first one I read after 9/11; and one of the first people the FBI called after 9/11.
Too bad they didn't listen to him after OKC.
"If you see something, say something." - Bloomberg.
Can you imagine the number of call they're about to receive? Legitimate and crank?
