#1 Some mini nuke additional data

BTW: is/was a certain 8" nuke round in the 90's that disassembled and the pancakes flipped 180 and reloaded could be detonated with a small explosion

#5 NYPD operating in 'heightened threat environment' in advance of New Year's Eve celebration

Last year, the NYPD had about four drone teams inside the "bow tie" and "frozen area" around Times Square for New Year's Eve. That will increase to six drone teams – four inside the bow tie and two on the outer perimeter – this year, NYPD Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry said, adding that mobile drone teams will also operate around Manhattan and the rest of the city and monitor activity over the water as well.
