NYC
Officials Push For Dramatic
Expansion Of Electronic
Surveillance
New York officials say they could
stop
attacks like the attempted Times
Square car
bomb by expanding a controversial
surveillance system so sensitive
that it
will pick up even suspicious
behavior. New
York is already a heavily policed
city, with
35,000 officers and a
counterterrorism
bureau -- the first of its kind in
the
country -- partnering the FBI. But
Saturday's failed terrorist bomb in
the
Times Square tourist hot spot has
provided
the authorities with a new argument
for
expanding a sometimes controversial
security
blanket of cameras, sensors and
analytical
software. The system "will greatly
enhance our ability and the ability
of the
police to detect suspicious activity
in real
time, and disrupt possible attacks,"
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday.
The
high-tech system, modeled on the
"ring
of steel" in London's financial
district, is already in service in
lower
Manhattan, where Wall Street and the
World
Trade Center reconstruction site are
located.
