Posted by Allan on Thu May 3 15:04:52 2012 http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2012/05/grenade_chatter_suspends_path.html"Grenade chatter suspends PATH service after being reported by fellow passenger Published: Thursday, May 03, 2012, 2:54 PM Updated: Thursday, May 03, 2012, 2:54 PM Steve Strunsky/The Star-Ledger By Steve Strunsky/The Star-Ledger Harrison — If vigilance is the price of freedom, so, it seems, is the occasional transit delay. PATH service between Newark Penn Station and the World Trade Center was suspended in both directions for 20 minutes at lunchtime today, after officials said one passenger overheard two others theorizing about the potential havoc a grenade could wreak on Times Square. The passenger overheard the couple while all three were standing on platform of the Harrison Station at 11:50 a.m. said Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The passenger then called police, and service was halted for approximately 20 minutes while officers questioned the couple and determined there was no threat, Coleman said. Residual delays resulted, Coleman said. Al Della Fave, a spokesman for the Port Authority Police Department, said the couple told officers they were unhappy with their jobs in Times Square, and were making idle chatter, unaware that anyone was listening in. They were not charged. "It was an inappropriate comment," Della Fave said. Transit riders are constantly reminded, "If you see something, say something," and Della Fave said the passenger did the right thing. Despite the inconvenience of false alarms, Della Fave said ignoring any suspicious activity could let a real threat go undetected. "You don't want to take that chance," he said." |

Thank NJT for making it easier to snitch to the Gestapo for whatever crybaby reason.It doesn't help that NJT is running really bizarre radio ads where someone "texts" a warning because he sees a man looking around with a backpack and has his hands in his pockets. |

I once wondered aloud to a friend at the station, if there would be "Bombs on our train"...got LOTS of strange looks for that one. Thankfully, nobody called the cops on us... |

The bad guys need do nothing to destroy our economy. All they need to do is to create a campaign to engage in idle chatter concerning such things (with no actual threat), within earshot of gullible people. If police then keep shutting down the systems of commerce in response, our economy will suffer.Police should be called in when there are real security threats. Labeling people terrorists, based on their discussions of current affairs, is a police state gone wild. |

Discussing "bombs" or "hijackings" in a security line at the airport is enough to get you arrested these days, and at the very least, delay the flight you were booked on, as all the passengers and crew get dragged off the plane for rescreeening. Praying on a plane while dressed in Islamic garb (or even Orthodox Jewish vestments) can, and has, caused passengers to report such individuals to flight crews and/or authorities. I wonder if you aren't exactly right about this, that terrorists could disable commercial air travel with nothing more than the words coming out of their mouths... |
