Apr 2008 Starting Thursday, special bomb teams, known as "Torch
Teams," will be toting submachine guns and bringing bomb-sniffing
dogs onto the platforms and into the trains. It's a first for mass
transit in the United States. NYPD officers, armed with rifles,
submachine guns, body armor and bomb-sniffing dogs will begin
patrolling the city's subway system, due to a $151 million Homeland
Security grant. Six officers and a dog will constitute a team,
patrolling all platforms and trains in 12-hour shifts. The "Torch
Teams"

will be toting MP5 submachine guns and M4 Carbine rifles that are
used by Navy seals and FBI hostage-rescue teams.

Freezing assets of terror suspects 'unlawful and unconstitutional'
--The Treasury immediately announced it will appeal. Solicitors
said the asset-freezing regime was "absurd and draconian". 24 Apr
2008 (UK) The Governments anti-terrorism strategy was dealt a
devastating blow today as the High Court ruled that its powers to
freeze suspects assets were unlawful and unconstitutional... Under
the asset-freezing powers the five men are allowed enough money for
basic expenses and have to account to the Government for what they
spend. Officials in the Treasury monitor their grocery bills and
decide whether they are allowed to accept gifts. The men face a
maximum penalty of seven years imprisonment for breaching the
financial sanctions, as does anyone found to have supplied them
with an "economic resource".
