On Monday, the NYPD flooded the city’s subway system with additional cops. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, “out of an abundance of caution,” said it has added more police at airports, the George Washington Bridge and ground zero, according to NBC New York.

An influx of storm troopers were apparent to riders on the Metropolitan Area Transit Authority in the nation’s capitol. Transit police, along with other law enforcement in the area, have increased security “as a precautionary measure related to the death of bin Laden,” according to Metro spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein.

District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray urged people in and around the nation’s capital to “pay more attention than they normally do” and “just be vigilant at this stage.”

Amtrak has dispatched canine teams and squads of officers trained to detect the presence of fumes left behind after someone passes through with an explosive device, the San Francisco Chronicle reports this morning.

In Los Angeles, police have begun increasing patrols of religious institutions and other potential terrorist targets, according to Politico. “We are somewhat concerned about any retaliation because of his [bin Laden’s] death,” Deputy Police Chief Mike Downing said on Sunday night.

The government insists the unverified assassination will increase terror attacks and it must redouble its efforts against al-Qaeda, the terror group named after the Mujahideen database.

Rep. Pete King, head of the House Homeland Security Committee, said on Monday that al-Qaeda will “try to avenge this death” and warned “we’ll have to be on full alert.”
