Former top MTA counter terrorism official Nicholas Casale offered this tidbit of the transit agency’s pre-9/11 mindset today:
On September 10, 2001, MTA police working on Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road lines reported Gary Dellaverson. Mr. Dellavreson, of couse, is head of labor relations of the MTA and best know nowadays for his role in the ongoing contract impasse with the TWU.
Now, the police report to the director of security, something he praised the agency for changing.
