A Day May Come When You'll Be Patted Down Going Into Stores
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) Counter terrorism experts say a retaliation attack for Osama bin Ladens death is inevitable. Terrorists are expected to aim for more vulnerable soft targets like shopping malls or museums.
They are places jam-packed with people pedestrian malls, shopping centers and stadiums.
Yeah, I feel safe. But of course in the back of my head I know that things can happen, one person told CBS 2s Hazel Sanchez.
Counter terrorism expert Juval Aviv said terrorists seeking revenge for Osama bin Ladens death will turn to attacks less dramatic than the destruction on Sept. 11 focusing instead on soft targets like hotels, places of worship and mass transit hubs.
Its easier and less complicated to carry out, Aviv said. What theyre going to achieve if theyre successful is to kill as many people as possible.
Security consultant David Boehm said the future could include security check points entering all soft targets like your local department store. Boehm said even with a police presence, the areas are vulnerable.
