Yeah saw that. I was there until sunset working on my plane. They left
before I did though.

I received the following this morning in an email alert from a local
aviation advocacy group at HPN:

\begin quote:

Westchester Airport Manager Joel Russell advises that special new
security procedures will likely be in effect at Westchester County
Airport beginning this morning, Wednesday Dec. 31.

He advises at armed National Guard personnel are being deployed to the
airport, and can be expected to be be at inbound checkpoints at the
airport, in addition to police patrols that you may have seen in the
past.

A new procedure may be a checkpoint on Tower Road, which is the access
road for Hangar Echo, as well as Panorama and Westair. Vehicles may be
inspected, and occupants may be asked to show a government-issued
identification. This could be a 24-hour-a-day procedure, and is
expected to be in effect for the short-term period ahead. There will
likely be heightened security procedures including National Guard on
the terminal side of the airport as well.

No further details as to specific procedures or the length of time
these kinds of measures may be in effect is available. Again, remember
that you and any guests should have available proper identification

Lincoln Park Airport, N07, had local police parked at the end of Runway
01 all day yesterday. Not sure what they thought they were
accomplishing there.
