MBTA Security Level Raised Following London Attacks
by Matt Margolis, July 7th, 2005 at 12:19pm

In response to the subway bombings in London today, Governor Romney has raised the security level for the MBTA.
Romney said there was no specific intelligence about any threat to Boston or the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority system.
The governor said he raised the alert at 6:15 a.m., nearly 90 minutes before the U.S. Homeland Security Department asked authorities in Boston, Miami, Atlanta, Washington and New York to increase their vigilance over buses and trains. The federal government later issued a “Code Orange” alert for all the nation’s mass transit systems.
