Manhattan may be harder to get around if NYPD's Operation Sentinel is put into place. Fox News is carrying the story that Operation Sentinel, if approved by the elders of the city, would include the photographing of all license plates of vehicles entering the city. Also a deployment of radiation detectors and an installation of thousands more surveillance cameras would be implemented. There is also a plan for movable roadblocks !
I'm sure some welcome the measures. But the potential for abuse by anyone who gets access to that data which will be stored indefinitely is obvious. And the question then is "What's next?". These steps are similar to the ones implemented by the Israeli occupiers of Palestine before they erected the apartheid wall. How about a wall around Manhattan? Walls would be better than roadblocks ?
The 9/11 event was partly about a failed U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. A particular part of that failure is the continued support of the illegal occupation of Palestine by the Israelis. So instead of fixing that part of our foreign policy we double down on that losing U.S./Israel relationship by having U.S. citizens suffer a loss of freedom and incur more discomfort with these proposed new "security" measures.
This loss of freedom of movement is just the latest discomfort that America endures for the failed state of Israel. Dump Israel and the U.S. will do a lot better in many ways.
