Title: 30 Sec News Story

Date: May 10, 2010

My name is Darin Schenck with the latest WKNJ news break. A possible terrorist plot was thwarted today as a car left unattended in Times Square was found to be an amateur car bomb. No one was hurt as the bomb did not go off, but this unexpected breach of security has authorities on high alert, and several New York city-goers are on edge. Some are concerned for their safety while others are concerned for their rights. Frequent city-goer Ryan Schenck had this to say:

“I’m concerned with my life……..
….I’m concerned with my safety and not for my rights.”

As a result of the bomb scare, authorities have heightened security all over the city, which is not so good news for city-goer Merrill Smith:

“Yeah, I’m concerned for my rights….
….that people don’t want them to do….”

The increased security will continue as the summer season brings in a greater volume of people into the city. What this means for their safety and their rights remains to be seen. With WKNJ, my name is Darin Schenck.
