What a bunch of IDIOTS! Once again spending my money when it doesn't need to be spent. It is perfectly legal to do a trial from the prison cell by video tape. Washington State does it in many instances. To think what 75 million and now they are saying more would do for people in need when a thousand $$$ worth of video feed could solve ALL security costs.
But oh no. We can't have common sense.




Security costs will top $75M in NYC terror trial


The Associated Press

NEW YORK —
New York police commissioner Raymond Kelly says security for the upcoming trial of the Sept. 11 terror attack suspects will cost much more than the initial estimate of $75 million.

Kelly drafted a security plan Dec. 18 for the upcoming trials of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others in New York federal court. The men have been charged with war crimes. Kelly says the costs will considerably exceed $75 million, but he would not say how much more. The initial estimate was given Nov. 18.

The NYPD says there aren't enough officers to handle trial security, so much of the cost will come from overtime and it will be impossible to accomplish without federal funds.

There is no trial date yet. No decision has been made on how the cost will be paid.
