The New York City Police Department has stepped up security outside major television news outlets in Manhattan to prevent possible takeovers by terrorists who may want to broadcast anti-American messages.
“It’s a concern, especially with international television companies,” police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Tuesday as he announced a security plan for the city in the event of a war overseas.
Law Enforcement departments, particularly those in larger cities, should consider similar types of threats. Police1 notes that there is also a possibility that antiwar activists could use similar tactics.
