The > reduction in posture is slight, and the Laboratory population in > general will not see any visible change. The modifications require us > to maintain the ID and vehicle screening at the gate and to continue > measures to thwart vehicle bombing attempts. Some activities > involving our security forces are being modified. The reduction is > designed to make the alert sustainable for weeks without causing > undue hardship, adversely affecting operations, or aggravating > relations with the local community. > > There is still the national threat of terrorists using a truck or car > bomb against unspecified targets. Intelligence indicates terrorists > may also attempt to use a stolen emergency vehicle, such as a fire > truck or ambulance, to carry a bomb. In addition, three DOE > identification cards have been stolen from the Savannah River Site. > Our security forces are on alert for them. > > Two reminders: Wearing your issued badge is mandatory, including > while you are out exercising. If wearing the badge is impractical > during sports, you must keep it readily available. Also, people who > have been issued paper temporary badges must still show photo > identification to enter the site. > > Again, many thanks for your cooperation. > > - Russel Reaver > Manager, Safeguards & Security Division > -- > > ************************************** > BNL Media & Communications > pubaf@bnl.gov > 631-344-3174 or 2345 * Fax 631-344-3368 > Brookhaven National Laboratory > Bldg. 134 PO Box 5000 > Upton NY 11973 > www.bnl.gov > > ************************************** > >
