Officials on Friday night established checkpoints in Lower Manhattan and other Manhattan entry points, where they deployed a battery of radiological sensors in response to what the NYPD called a "reported radiological threat." The testing revealed no presence of a radiological bomb. By Saturday afternoon, authorities said they had scaled back both the monitoring and the checkpoints. Authorities said the threat was unconfirmed and that the city's terror alert status remained unchanged at Level Orange. At one point Friday night, according to some reports, police had received information that terrorists might be targeting Manhattan's 34th Street area. The NYPD, however, would not confirm that.")
