This is what Peter Kalikow had to say about the $600 million in unspent counter-terrorism money allocated to the MTA, right after the London blasts :

[via Funds will be there when technology is, M.T.A. chief says [Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers]]:

"The easy way out would be to spend the money quickly, without a thorough analysis of the cost and benefit," the chairman, Peter S. Kalikow, said in an interview. "The technology for this kind of stuff is still emerging. When stuff is proven, we'll be there. We don't think we should be wasting money on unproven technology."

No technology is good enough for the job NOW? No digital recording equipment? No WiFi? No cellular emergency phones? No security holes plugged at train yards all across the city? What is real-estate tycoon and D'Amato BFF, Peter Kalikow waiting to do with $600 million of tax-payers' money?

Because, as the Memory Hole well reminds us, the biggest fallacy BushCo has fabricated is that the US government and the city of New York were never prepared for the September 11 attacks. They were. They had ample training. They just don't want you to know they did :

[via The Memory Hole > Another Official Pre-9/11 Image of the WTC Being Targeted]:

It's getting hard to keep track of all the ways in which one of the biggest 9/11 lies--that the government just didn't foresee, couldn't have forseen, an attack on the World Trade Center--has been exposed. Add another one to the list. The image above is from the cover of the manual "Managing Weapons of Mass Destruction Incidents: An Executive Level Program for Sheriffs." The manual was given to people who participated in the training program of the same name, which taught local law enforcement how to deal with terrorist attacks. Notice that the cover is imprinted with the seal of the US Justice Department (and the seal of the National Sheriffs' Association). In the bottom right corner, the date is a little hard to read; it says: "Version: June 2000." The full 250-page manual--with "law enforcement sensitive" at the bottom of each page--was given to me by someone who participated in the training in 2000. (The program is now sponsored by the Office of Homeland Security, according to this page at the National Sheriffs' Association.)

What does Bloomberg know about potential attacks to the subway that have not been dealt with and that he is now covering with ineffective yet falsely reassuring bag searches? What are Bloomberg Kalikow Pataki Bush and Company not telling us about the next possible strike?
