New York Police Department Detective Griffin uses a radiation detection device to monitor traffic following a 'dirty bomb' threat August 11, 2007 in New York City. New York police stepped up security in response to an unverified Internet report that al Qaeda may be plotting to detonate a radiological device in the city. At an estimated cost of $90 million, the Securing the Cities program absorbs a small fraction of the national security and counter-proliferation expenditures. But critics have raised questions about its value, noting its rapid growth in the absence of a specific threat of urban nuclear terrorism, as well as the program's technical challenges and operational limitations.
