Travelers Urged To Remain Vigilant As Holidays Approach.

Travelers everywhere are warned today to remain vigilant
against terrorist attack especially as the holidays draw
near.
Intelligence experts believe that it is only a matter of
time before there is another terrorist attack in the U.S.
and mass public transport systems and holiday resorts are
both prime targets. Both are easy to attack and difficult
to defend and both could lead to mass casualties and major
disruption.
The recent deadly terrorist bombings in Jordan were
designed to hit the economic wellbeing of that country and
discourage visitors. Similar attacks were carried out at a
popular tourist resort in Egypt for the same reasons. Other
attacks took place in London and Madrid with the aim of
causing death and destruction and striking terror among the
millions of people who daily use the mass transport systems
in the two capitals.
Thanksgiving is the busiest travel time of the year with
more than 33 million traveling so special care needs to be
taken. Every day, however, Americans make more than 32
million times trips on mass transit and subways are
particularly vulnerable targets to bombs or biochemical
attack with hundreds of passengers crowded into a very
confined space often well below ground.
How long will it be before an attack is carried out in the
US either at a top tourist destination or on a mass
transport system? That is why we all have to be vigilant
and play our role in defending the Homeland.
This means reporting anything that you think is suspicious
and being alert to what is going on around us at all times.
If you are traveling on any form of mass transport system
keep an eye on what others are doing - just in case - and
report any suspicious parcels or packages. By being
vigilant we will help protect ourselves and others.
New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Director
of Security William A. Morange, echoed the call. The help
of passengers is critically important to maintaining a high
level of security for the regional public transportation
system.
It is impossible for the police departments to be
everywhere and see everything. Our passengers extend our
reach and-by sharing their information-make the system
safer.
