"Miami plans 'in-your-face' anti-terror effort"
November 29, 2005
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "MIAMI (AP) -- Miami police announced plans yesterday to thwart terrorists by staging random, "in-your-face" security operations at so-called "soft" targets, such as city buses and sports arenas.
The idea behind the "Miami Shield" program is to make such targets less attractive to terrorists and improve vigilance among citizens. Deputy Police Chief Frank Fernandez said al Qaeda and other terror groups carefully plot their attacks based in part on surveillance that identifies flaws and patterns in security.
Random, high-profile security operations will keep terrorists guessing about where police might be next, he said."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "November 28, 2005 -- They're the unsung members of the NYPD — covertly assigned to eight foreign countries in the never-ending battle against global terrorism."
I saw that story in our paper this morning ... thought it was odd that they would be announcing this so openly. Why do the police have to telegraph their plans?
