LOS ANGELES — Police are expanding a citizen terror watch program to include travelers at the Los Angeles International Airport.
The iWatch program was launched in October for residents to alert authorities to suspicious activity by phone or Internet. On Thursday, police and political leaders are using fliers and posters to enlist help from people at LAX.
iWatchers are asked to be on the lookout for possible terror activities such as people buying bomb-making supplies or unattended vehicles near loading zones around high-profile buildings.Tips are reviewed by anti-terror experts, then entered into a database designed to find patterns and trends.
The program was developed by LAPD and has been adopted by police departments across the country.
