Death of bin Laden Increases Security Presence

NEW YORK (AP) — Law enforcement agencies around the U.S. added security measures on Monday following Osama bin Laden's death, out of what one called "an abundance of caution." In Los Angeles, police were stepping up intelligence monitoring, while New York was sending extra police to its subways, airports, bridges and the World Trade Center site itself.
