New York and Washington in Security Lock Down on 9/11 Anniversary
By Patrick Martin - WSWS
Like similar alerts issued over the past ten years, under both the Bush and Obama administrations, the warning seemed calculated more to cause public unease than anything else, since the threat was undefined and effectively unavoidable...Friday wore on with no additional information, but plenty of heavy-handed security action. Police searched vehicles crossing the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, and roadblocks and checkpoints were set up throughout the city in time for the morning rush hour.
