Last night shortly after seven p.m. I took the number 7 train in Manhttan with the expectation that I would quickly arrive home. I was wrong. The emergency brakes went on between Grand Central and Vernon Jackson, the first subway stop in Queens which is also home to the 108th Precinct. We were stopped for more than 45 minutes during the investigation and were never told what had happened. People were very, very nervous because many of us are aware of the terrorist cell in Queens which the FBI may have caught - and then again - maybe they did not nab all of the members. Yes, I think it is entirely possible that the New York City subway system will be hit by Islamic terrorists as London and Madrid were. I also think that we have a president and attorney general, Eric Holder, who have little interest in protecting us. They might as well buy membership cards in the ACLU. They do not want to protect us. Period.
