Cryptome Tracks the NYPD Ring of Steel:

After 9/11, the NYPD surrounded Lower Manhattan and its Civic Center with an enhanced security architecture popularized by the media as the Ring of Steel.

The encrypted zone has become a signature public space in the 21st century global city.

Cryptome proposes new pathways to penetrate civic space hardened by command, control, communications, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance technologies.

New pathways are especially critical for those called to the Civic Center as prospective  jurors participating in juridical processes.

Access into the juridical city is urgent for groups underrepresented in the jury pool, who hail from marginalized communities already subject to intimidation by NYPD security theater.
