This morning, WCBS-880 radio reported that Rep. Jane Harman (D-Ca.), who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, had advised her daughter to avoid the New York City subways. The radio report also cited a nonconvincing denial by Harman that the warning was based on intelligence regarding potential terrorist attacks.
(I have not been able to find other verification of the report.)
I had lunch today with a client, who knows a captain in the NYPD. According to my client, this captain had advised his family to avoid the NYC subways "for the next ten days."
