STEWART AIRPORT – Security at JFK and LaGuardia Airports has been
beefed up with additional police and National Guardsmen following the
terrorist attacks on Brussels’ airport and a subway station Tuesday
morning that killed and wounded dozens.
At Stewart Airport where State Police Troop F handles security at the
terminal, Commander Major Joseph Tripodo said troopers are stepping up
security.
“While there is no known credible threat to Stewart Airport in light
of what happened in Brussels, we are obviously ramping up our awareness
and vigilance at the airport,” he said. “We will generally
increase our visible presence and work closely with our local partners
for optimal security.”
Tripodo emphasized the need for the public to keep their eyes open wherever
they are and if they see something, say something.
