NYC Keeps Commuters On Alert For Bombers

(From The USA Today)

NEW YORK CITY POLICE will board subway trains and buses to teach riders how to recognize suicide bombers, Police Commissioner RAYMOND KELLY said Thursday.

Alerting the public to identify suicide bombers is part of a broader plan to step up warnings on NEW YORK's PUBLC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM of possible terror-related activity, he said.

The idea of alerting people face-to-face comes after the department got a positive public response when a city police officer who was searching a bus the day of THE LONDON BOMBINGS spoke to commuters about being aware of suspicious activity, Kelly said.

"In reality, we can't do it on every bus, but I think we are going to use that where we can," he said.
