ALBANY, N.Y. -- New York is starting to deploy National Guard troops and additional police to beef up security at major transit points and other locations in response to a heightened threat of terrorism.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, accompanied by state lawmakers, said Friday that the stepped-up security is already underway and likely to last months, but it isn't in response to any specific threat.
Cuomo said the increased tensions with international terrorist organizations are undeniable.
"It's also undeniable New York is a possible target of a terrorist attack, either in retaliation for actions this country may be taking or as an offensive gesture," he said. "Our responsibility is to make sure we're doing everything that is prudent to be ready, to be prepared and to anticipate."

[sigh] Ironically there was a big threat 13 years ago that was somehow disregarded. So, NYC is on every terrorist's short list. This isn't news. We're used to seeing bomb sniffing dogs and National Guard: The New Normal since 2001.
