Bloomberg
Wants 'Big Brother Britain' For NYC
Mayor Michael Bloomberg has his eye
on more
security against terror attacks. He
went to
London Tuesday to check out their
surveillance camera system, one of
the
largest in the world. Ever since the
Times
Square car bomb scare on May 1, the
mayor's
been looking to build up New York's
camera
network. That means adding to the
ring of
steel in Times Square, similar to
central
London's. The mayor said more NYPD
surveillance cameras may prevent
another
terror scare. London has 500,000
surveillance cameras, more than any
other
city in the world. Bloomberg visited
London's mayor to see how these help
Britain
fight terror. "We live in a world of
suicide bombers. We live in a world
of
international terrorism," Bloomberg
said. And a world where both cities
have
been targets. Bloomberg came to take
a
closer look at the sprawling
security
network throughout London -- known
as the
"Ring of Steel." The mayor's
hoping to beef up New York's own
surveillance system in the wake of
the
failed car bomb attack in Times
Square.
