Disturbing Stories of the Day: Terrorists’ Easy Pass to NYC; Amtrak Employees Putting Passengers in Danger?

NY
Could the keys to New York City fall into the hands of potential terrorists? That’s the question being asked after a New Jersey locksmith reportedly sold a fireman’s key ring to an undercover reporter from the New York Post. They keys supposedly can control elevators, knock out power to skyscrapers, open subway gates and even give access to One World Trade Center. The 69-year-old man, Daniel Ferraris, sold the keys for $150 dollars and claims he has more keys that he is trying to sell.

In another disconcerting story, Amtrak employees are failing drug tests at an alarming rate. An internal audit found drug and alcohol use among workers is 51 percent higher than the industry average. The majority of employees who tested positive had cocaine and marijuana in their systems. Mechanic and signal operators were the worst offenders. The rail company is promising to increase drug screening this year.
