    Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Wednesday that police will form a frozen zone around the World Trade Center site. They’ll flood it with thousands of extra officers for the Sunday observance there with President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush in attendance.

    The beefed up security also will include hundreds of surveillance cameras trained on the site.

    The commissioner said the department will deploy “quick strike reaction forces” to respond to potential threats outside lower Manhattan. The teams include officers in heavy armor, bomb squad technicians and hostage negotiators.

    New Yorkers also will see extra subway patrols.

    Fortunately, we will all be much safer soon. Bloomberg will soon make it illegal to even think about 9/11, and there wont be anything for terrorists to target.

    The “extra subway controls” are a farce, as most if not all of of the extra security will only be in Manhattan, and not in the outer boroughs. In 1974, the City of New York, removed the cops who used to ride “shotgun” on all of the subway trains (and were stationed on all of the subway stations), from 8PM until 4AM. Every once in a while, in an effort to impress the public, this display of force takes place on the subway. It is tantamount to the Civil War buffs reenacting a battle. If the Government was really concerned about internal security, it will severely restrict the granting of visas to citizens of countries which have produced terrorists.
