Not only is it farcical, it's expensive. Every time police
departments go on high alert, those people get paid overtime.
As both Eric and I have now said the CCTTW system was useless to those
who would
most need to know about terrorist threats. Two or three times Portland
sent a couple of extra squad cars to park at the termini of certain
bridges because of alleged warnings from the FBI or whomever. The man
in the Tri-Met Omnibus knew nothing of this until the film at 11:00. I
wouldn't say that the police were on 'high alert.' The warnings of
threats to e.g. the New York subway system and the Los Angeles airport
may have triggered more costly responses. And then there's
Dundee, Oregon.
