The Statue of Liberty was evacuated Friday afternoon after someone called in a bomb threat and parks police reported a suspicious package, law enforcement sources tell NBC4 New York.

The NYPD's bomb squad was called to the scene, along with EMS workers. A security sweep of the island is also being conducted. As yet, no devices have been found.

This is 'the beginning' of a campaign, where the end result is martial law or a crack down. It can't be done too quickly, or the public will begin to 'smell a rat'. As for blame, that becomes exponentially more important when there are casualties.... and the public have to believe that the person or organisation to blame is actually to blame, too.
