BTW - it wasn't just Boston -
In Oswego, NY, the US Border Patrol was all over the harbor last Friday, lest the fugitives make a run for Canada over Lake Ontario.
In Niagara Falls, NY, police officers stopped and searched at least one car and the local Buffalo TV station carried it live.
There was an entire apparatus on red alert lest the Boston bombing be the first of a wave of bombings.
