Experts: New Jersey home to 'most dangerous 2 miles in America'

AP reports:
There's a patch of land in New Jersey - spanning roughly from Exit 13A on the Turnpike to Newark International Airport and the ports of Newark and Elizabeth - that homeland security experts call "the most dangerous two miles in America."

With critical infrastructure, major thoroughfares and sensitive chemical processing facilities, NJ.com reports that officials in New Jersey are particularly worried about the state's vulnerability to terror attacks.

The state Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness held its 10th anniversary conference on Friday, bringing together local, state and federal law enforcement and security experts to discuss looming threats ranging from radical terrorists to malicious hackers.

Among the speakers were newly-appointed acting Attorney General Robert Lougy, U.S. Sen. Cory Booker and Central Intelligence Agency director John Brennan.


Just a reminder.
