The tight security plan that the New York Police Department has for the rebuilt World Trade Center makes you wonder about the rest of the city.
Of course, the Freedom Tower, the museum and the other buildings will be a target for terrorists. The Trade Center was attacked twice by the time it fell.
The New York Times reported on Monday that police want the entire site to be placed in a security zone. Only specially screened taxis, limousines and cars would be allowed through; guards would be placed at street corners.
In one way it makes sense. No one wants a third attack. But at the same time the bombings in London and Madrid were of trains.
Today The Daily News has an article on Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist who was arrested in Afghanistan last month.
The MIT graduate who was once married to a nephew of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed reportedly had a list of New York landmarks on her.
Included, according to The Daily News, the Statue of Liberty, Times Square and the subway system.
