8 fighter jets added to growing Boston security
8 fighter jets added to growing security
By Brian MacQuarrie and Bryan Bender, Globe Staff | July 24, 2004
Eight F-16s will patrol the skies over Boston during the Democratic National Convention, military officials said yesterday, as police and military personnel took positions in unprecedented security precautions in the city.
Boston residents can expect to hear and see military aircraft overhead starting today, as part of what the North American Aerospace Defense Command described as "a series of exercise training flights."
F-16 fighter jets will probably continue patrolling Monday and throughout next week's four-day convention, state officials said. The flights will operate 24 hours a day and are under the direction of the US Secret Service, one of the state officials said.

good to see everyone back.
I really don't see Boston being attacked - it just doesn't fit into AQ's political agenda.
being in NY, I frankly fear things the protestors will do during the convention here, more then AQ. all you need is a series of M80 explosions going off in the bathrooms of large department stores like Macy's, and some smoke bombs on the subways - and all hell will break loose here.
