WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The Transportation Security Administration will deploy special teams to help enhance transit system security in eight cities over the July Fourth holiday, officials said Tuesday.

The teams -- consisting of K-9 explosive detection units, air marshals, transportation inspectors and behavior detection officers -- will be deployed in New York; Washington; Boston, Massachusetts; Chicago, Illinois; Los Angeles, California; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Houston, Texas; and San Francisco, California.

Called Visual Intermodal Protection and Response teams, they will focus on ground transportation systems as well as airports in some of those cities.

TSA spokeswoman Lara Uselding in Chicago said the VIPR team there will work in mass-transit areas but not in the airport.

So far we know very little the identities of the so called "Glasgow bombers"...but I've noticed some of the stuff the mainstream media is reporting currently doesn't pass the smell test. However, in due time, all the facts will come out. Insha'Allah.
