John F. Kennedy Airport's AirTrain is one of New York's most vulnerable
terror targets, the executive vice president of the Port Authority Police
Benevolent Association said Friday.

"It's unmanned and unpoliced," Robert Morris told a state Senate hearing.

Especially vulnerable is the enclosed area near Terminal 4, which houses
many international airlines -- including El Al, the biggest Israeli airline
and a longtime terror target.

Morris gave the New York State Senate Committee on Veterans, Homeland
Security and Military Affairs a list of what he said were four
terror-threatened areas around the region that ought to be better patrolled
by Port Authority officers.

"We tried to handle this internally," but Port Authority brass did not act,
Morris said.

He said his submission was private -- but Sen. Greg Ball (R-Westchester)
asked publicly about the AirTrain.

"This is the type of thing that should have been exposed years ago," Ball
said after the hearing.

"We should have uniformed people on that transportation corridor. We don't
in any way," he said.
