Editorial: Recent Middle East Developments Mean Increased Security Concerns For U.S.
The article title More Westerners join ISIS following the group’s successes in Iraq linked here indicates that over 100 terrorists that we know of have United States Passports, making it safe to assume that there are plenty more we don?t know about.

Tuscaloosa City Schools Looking To Replace Broken Security Cameras
the republic logo TUSCALOOSA, Alabama — Tuscaloosa city schools officials say they’re hoping to replace broken security cameras by the end of the month. Director of the district’s facilities program Jeff Johnson tells the Tuscaloosa News ( http://bit.ly/1n9rPnx ) says about 20 percent of the district’s cameras don’t work. Johnson says some of the cameras in the system are as much as 11 years old. School board member Norman Crow says the broken cameras are a safety issue that the district can’t afford to delay fixing. Board member Marvin Lucas says the district should implement regular checks to make sure cameras in the system are functioning properly.

Salem MA Supports Advanced Surveillance At State’s Park & Ride Facilities
SALEM — The town will be supporting a proposed house bill that would allow for more advanced video surveillance at the state’s Park & Ride facilities. The Park & Ride facilities are owned by the state and managed by Concord Coach Lines, which operates the Boston Express service out of Salem. There are already video surveillance cameras at the eight facilities in the state, but the bill introduced by state representative Candace Bouchard would allow for increased resolution for the video cameras. Mark Sanborn, director of government relations for Concord Bus Lines, said the improved surveillance would help make the facilities safer and more secure. Similar high resolution cameras in operation in Maine have also helped assist police departments with drug and kidnapping cases, according to Sanborn. “These are safe and secure facilities right now, but this is another step we can take to continue to make that a top priority,” said Sanborn. Earlier this week, Salem selectmen joined the other communities with Park & Ride facilities, including Nashua, Londonderry, Portsmouth and Dover in sending a letter in support of the house bill by a 3-2 vote. Selectmen Stephen Campbell and James Keller voted against sending a letter in support of the house bill. Campbell said the bill raised issues concerning privacy, and noted that under the state’s Right to Know law, anyone from the public could put in a request for copies of the surveillance. Campbell said he has enough concerns with the government having access to the […]
