New York is already on heightened alert for the Republican National Convention, which meets at Madison Square Garden in a month and will bring scores of high government officials to town.

Madison Square Garden sits directly above New York's Penn Station, a nexis of subway, commuter, and Amtrak trains. I just have thoughts of an Amtrak train with a WMD in the baggage. I presume and hope all train service under MSG will be suspended when Bush addresses the convention.

they said the trains were running during the convention....

I presume and hope all train service under MSG will be suspended when Bush addresses the convention.

Service is not suspended. My wife will be doing round-trips everyday on the LIRR to Penn Station convention week and my brother be doing a round-trip on Amtrack from Philly to Penn Station on Aug 29th and Sept. 1st

Since my wife, myself, and most of my friends work in high profile buildings in NYC, needless to say, our first reaction to this story was not whether an attack would help Bush's chances of reelection.
