Antiterrorism Training Camp Opens

-snip-

The Anti-Terrorism Training Facility was unveiled Monday, complete with a converted American Airlines Boeing 727 commercial jet that will be used by law enforcement agencies from across the country to practice antiterrorism tactics and homeland security measures.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office - along with other local, state and federal law enforcement officers, and politicians and dignitaries - dedicated the new facility at the sheriff's Practical Training Site in Lithia.

Donations and in-kind services covered the entire $500,000 tab for moving, reassembling, refurbishing and painting the aircraft.

The keynote speaker was John Walsh, host of Fox's ``America's Most Wanted,'' who praised the sheriff's office for taking proactive homeland security measures. Walsh said he plans to feature the facility on his TV show Saturday.

``We're gonna tell the world about one little place in Central Florida and one sheriff who has the courage to bring the private and public sectors together to say: `We're not gonna take this laying down. If you're dumb enough to try to come over here and terrorize us and kill our people again, you'll pay a terrible price. We're gonna be ready, we're not gonna be terrorized, and we're not gonna buckle.' ''
