Extra Subway Security
The New York Post reports on the "unprecedented security effort" underway in our NYC subways since the Madrid attack. Teams of a dozen police officers have been sweeping through subway cars before they enter a tunnel or cross a bridge, the Post reports. There are new surveillance cameras in tunnels and "shoebox-size sensors" with silent alarms have been placed in some stations to warn of a biochemical attack. (Link via Gothamist.)

Yesterday I noticed the Wall Street station (which is the last 2/3 stop before heading under the East River to Brooklyn) now has a booth on the subway platform with a cop sitting there watching the trains and passengers.
