Welcome to FR. We have some great FReepers in the NYC area. And we lost some great ones on 9/11.

"They are almost exclusively muslim males between the ages of 20 and 45."

It's beginning to look as if the only way to deal with this is going to be mass deportations and the rounding up of all Muslims as we did to the Japanese in WWII. Sooner or later one of these groups is going to pull off something really big and those of us who are still around are going to be really, really pissed off. At that point, it would not be an understatement to say that putting all the Muzzies in detention centers would be for their own protection.

"Next time I see 15 or 20 Middle Easterns boarding a PATH car (and the cars aren't that big) with backpacks, I'll take the next train.

"This plot sounds a bit half-baked, to me.

I would think that the Port Authority police officers standing around near the turnstiles watching those entering would notice them. They're there for a reason.

I take the Path train all the time from Hoboken into the city.

I grew up in Jersey City and Union City, and used to take the Path train all the time, too. Although I've lived in Los Angeles, now, for half my life, this news also gave me the chills.

WoW! That's gotta be very scary. I think I'd buy a boat and forget taking anything in the way of mass transit, or even better, I'd move far out into the country like I did. I'm soooo glad I live in the country now. I can see anyone coming down my road and that's the way I like it. Welcome to Free Repbulic! :o) >>>>>

Thanks for the welcome.

Instead of the PATH, I can always take the ferry into NYC. But I usually don't because path is 1.50 versus 6.00 for the ferry. It adds up.

Also my condo is almost sold and I really have nothing to keep me in New York area now. Boyfriend and I broke up last month and with my job I can work almost anywhere.

I'm almost tempted to move home (Its much more conservative and has better laid back quality of life) Additionally my grandmother already heard about this news and doesn't want me in NYC any longer. It's very cute.

But Im a person who hates to be motivated by fear and although Im comforted that this potential attack seems mostly foiled, Im still kind of disturbed by it.

They're doing great work tracking these fiends online, but Im worried about the ones falling through the cracks offline.

I would think that the Port Authority police officers standing around near the turnstiles watching those entering would notice them. They're there for a reason.

And that reason would be to collect a pension. If you do not take your individual security seriously, understand that the Port Authority and TSA will not even send a note to your survivors. The coroner will provide a bag and a tag, and a chilled environment for your remains. Many Americans whine about profiling. Failure to remain vigilant carries consequences.

More on the Hudson Tubes page.

Interesting. Hudson Tubes is what the subway trains between New Jersey and New York were called until some time in the early 1960's when the PATH acronym was adopted. Are they going back to using the original name and dumping PATH?

And with Mayor Blumberg saying that he will NOT enforce immigration laws, expect more islamofacist illegals to flood NYC where they can openly carry out their dibolical plans with impunity courtesy of politically correct US politicans.

BTW, if memory serves, PATH stands for Port Authority Trans Hudson.

20 guys with backpack bombs in one train car wouldnt have caused the River to come pouring in, it would have been a waste of 20 bombs in one car. >>>>> What disturbed me is that the PATH was a 'clever' easy target. Gee I thought the dems say they're no real threat because they're not that bright.

Huge Muslim population commuting in from Jersey City to NYC so they wouldn't raise any eyebrows boarding the PATH with backpacks in large numbers.

Apparently security has been incredibly beefed up and I hope they keep it that way for long time.

I don't want to go too far imagining the horror they were plotting, but I would guess that some would've been coming from one side (NY) and some from (NJ) and be divided up in different cars.

Generally when I take the PATH in morning there's 6-8 train cars connected. (Someone please correct me if Im wrong)

Too awful to think about. Ive been stuck in the PATH a couple times over the last several years. Not good.

Well, at my station, they have a pair of young, fit, alert Port Authority policemen looking intently at the those entering. They didn't send the timeservers out for this duty, nor would they if they had this kind of info.

At the risk of sounding harsh I suggest you seek employment closer to home.

Yes you'll probably make less money. But on the positive side you won't be a sitting duck on a massive target every day of your life.

All in all I think the benefits outway the drawbacks.

Port Authority Trans Hudson (PATH) trains had their downtown terminus in a sub level of the Trade Center. People died there. If they pulled this off they would have likely gotten some folks who made it out the first time in 93, then again in 01.
