Officials in New York remain on high-alert following the warning issued by DHS that terrorists might be plotting an attack on the city for the ten-year anniversary of 9/11.
NYPD have pulled back the additional security measures put in place for the ten-year anniversary like checkpoints at ports of entries and bridges, but remain on vigilant for a potential bomb attack.
On Monday, security remained tight and officers will be deployed to conduct additional patrols in subways and other critical areas. So far, the FBI has questioned and cleared more than 300 people who fit the profile of men intelligence agencies identified as potential attackers who may have entered the country.
In addition, airlines across the nation have been on edge for the last several days.
On Sunday, two commercial flights were escorted by military jets after passengers and flight crew reported suspicious behavior. The planes were boarded by law enforcement agents with their guns drawn and several passengers were removed for questioning. So far, no charges have been filed.
