Now you know they're not just spying on alleged "terrorists" in other nations. In the tradition of 1950's "red squads", the New York city undercover cops are certainly targeting all kinds of dissidents and protestors. And they also claim they can now blow out of the sky any plane flying over New York City they think might be under the control of terrorists! Rest easy at night New Yorkers. New York's "finest" will knock that sucker out of the sky .... hopefully not in your neighborhood! BBI NYPD chief: We could take down plane if necessary

The New York Police Department could take down a plane if necessary, Commissioner Ray Kelly said Sunday, describing the counter-terror measures he implemented after the Sept. 11 attacks.
"We couldn't rely on the federal government alone. I believed that we had to create our own counter-terrorism capacity, indeed our own counter-terrorism division. And, that plan was put into effect fairly rapidly," he added.
Kelly also told "60 Minutes" that
the NYPD has intelligence officers stationed in cities around the world, including Abu Dhabi, Amman, Montreal, Toronto, Singapore and Paris. "They're there to act as trip wires or listening posts" he said. "Is there anything going on there that (as I say) can help us better protect the city."
