we know that in new york, for example, the new york police city commissioner sent out a message to all commands asking them to be on alert. we know that in philadelphia the police are stepping up patrols around mosques and synagogues, checking them on an hourly basis. we have not heard anything yet from the department of homeland security but a former dhs official tells me that they have had plans on the shelf for some time that they could pull off in the event of bin laden's death that would involve heightened protection around transportation hubs and the like. this official stresses that this is not about protective measures, that there is going to be a big step up in intelligence and intelligence gathering. bin laden he points out has had ten years to prepare for this eventuality and there's been some belief in the u.s. government that he may have deployed people here, may have sleeper cells in position here in the united states who would on his death be triggered into action. so you can imagine that the intelligence community is going to be looking very hard at people already on th

just days ago, he was arrested for allegedly trying to rape a hotel maid in new york city. in his resignation letter to the imf, the 62-year-old adamantly denied the charges and said, quote, i want to protect this institution, which i've served with honor and devotion, and especially, especially, i want to devote all my strength, all my time, and all my energy to proving my innocence. today his lawyers will enter a new plea for his release. they'll propose that he post a $1 million cash bail, wear an electronic monitoring bracelet, and be placed under house arrest at his daughter's new york home. the state department has wrapped up its own legal review of the case. officials decided that strauss-kahn does not qualify for diplomatic immunity. because he wasn't on official business when he was arrested. at the hotel where the assault allegedly took place, police continue to dig for evidence. they've reportedly cut dna samples from a carpet. as for the 32-year-old maid, friends are coming to her defense. >> she's a hard-working lady. that's what she was there for. she was ther

new york feel? >> reporter: well, i think when you listen to what new york city mayor michael bloomberg has said about today's event, he basically said, this is a moment for the city and the nation to reflect and also a moment to have some justice. a lot of people in new york feel that way about the president's visit which has been marked by some controversy. he will be meeting with 9/11 families and first responders. not all the 9/11 families were invited to might with the president. we reached out to some that were invited and others that were not. jim riches was invited, he lost his son, jimmy, a firefighter. he was fortunate enough to be able to meet with the press. on the flip side, bob hughes and his wife, elaine, they lost their son. they will not be meeting with the president. so i want you to listen to what both of what they had to say about what's going to be happening later today. >> i feel sorry for them. i wish everyone could have been there. i mean, i guess, logistically, it just doesn't work out. i was one of the lucky ones selected. i hope to represent my group, the family and parents

it's a frightening fact that in the past decade there have been at least 12 plots against the city of new york that were either planned or inspired by bin laden and tonight security experts and the city's police commissioner tell cbs news that the threat may be greater than ever. it's clear that law enforcement in new york city is not letting down its guard tonight but, in fact, beefing up security. is it fair to say that we are more at risk today than we've been at any other time since 9/11? >> in my estimation, i would say yes. >> this is kind of the start of things not tend of things. i don't think this ended anything. >> reporter: the biggest concerns, say security experts: lone wolf terrorists like phial is shahzad who exactly a year ago tried to bomb times square. bin laden's death heralded in huge newspaper headlines may spark more copy cats bent on revenge. >> this city unfortunately is at the top of the terrorist target list. >> reporter: what keeps new york police commissioner ray kelly up at night, he says, is the pocket of a catastrophic event. >> on the top of the priority list is

cities become ungodly unfordable. and that's certainly one the challenges that new york faces. that, you know, cities like chicago which has been very friendly towards construction have made it possible for young people without a huge -- without a lot of means live in chicago. new york under the bloomberg administration has moved, i think productively, towards allowing more production. if you look at the broad path in the 1970s to the 1990s. just as prices were rising, the city was making it more and more difficult to build and with the swath of preservation which was at the island and currently 15% of the land area in manhattan is in a preservation district. if it's not if i don't preveer our architect. my father was a architect. i believe they are treasures. not a postwar glazed building needs to be preserved. i draw a lot on the wisdom of jane jacobs. she understand the magic. this one she got wrong. a lot of who she did was wandering around. old buildings are cheap, new buildings with expensive. the way to keep new york affordable, kept the old buildings and not let anybody
