State officials discuss security post-bin Laden

Here's a news item from the Associated Press: BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Officials with Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter's office are meeting with the state's law enforcement and security leaders to discuss security issues in the wake of Osama bin Laden's death. Robert Feeley, public affairs officer with the Idaho Bureau of Homeland Security, says his agency hasn't been notified of any credible threats. However, he says that the bureau's director, Brigadier General William Shawver, and Idaho State Police Director Col. Jerry Russell are meeting with Otter's office to determine what action, if any, the state is going to take in response to bin Laden's death. Feeley says his bureau wants to remind Idaho residents that as always, people need to be aware of their surroundings and anyone who notices anything out of the ordinary should contact local law enforcement.
