Days after the Paris terrorist attacks killed more

than 130 people, the entire world is seemingly on high
alert and nowhere more so than New York.
At New York Penn Station on Friday, the security
was instantly noticeable. While the terminal is littered
with fixed police stations, groups of uniformed police
officers also were positioned around major meeting
points and well-traveled hallways. At a train station
where 600,000 people each day keep moving, they
stick out like a sore thumb, standing perfectly still
with only their eyes darting around.
In the city, I guess Im a little more worried like
when youre on the subway, Aberdeen resident William Gallagher said. New York is where you really
notice them. You learn to keep your eyes open and
thats when you notice how beefed up the security is.
Officers from at least five different departments
New York City, state, Amtrak, Department of
Homeland Security and the National Guard could
be seen throughout the terminal. Some wore bulletproof vests, others in traditional law enforcement uniforms and a few had bomb-sniffing dogs on a leash.
All were armed.
