Dear Editor:

I found it quite disturbing to read that a 16-year-old youth climbed all the way to the top of the World Trade Center and was not stopped. Now my question was where was security, or lack thereof, at 4 a.m. Sunday morning?

If this daredevil could do this, than any terrorist could do the same and plant a bomb that could hurt many and do much destruction. This I believe is a wakeup call for additional security measures to be impose to lessen the risks.

Many lives are at stake if nothing is done.

Sincerely,

Frederick R. Bedell, Jr.
