Police across America have ramped up security at airports, tourist landmarks and mass transit points in the wake of the deadly blasts in Brussels that left at least 34 people dead.
Amid fears the bombings are the actions of coordinated jihadis, Homeland Security have said they are closely monitoring events as police departments and transit authorities step up their anti-terror patrols.
Forces including the NYPD, DC police and Chicago PD have moved to increase their presence at key locations while others have urged residents to be more vigilant and report anything suspicious.
Amtrak also confirmed more officers would be visible at their train stations around the nation.
The Port Authority announced early on Tuesday morning they would be stepping up precautions at New York and New Jersey’s three major airports – La Guardia, JFK and Newark – and will deploy heavy-weapon officers throughout terminal buildings.
Anti-terrorist units will also be stationed at the World Trade Center.
