"We will not become fortress America," said Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, shortly after authorising the fortressification of New York.

Mr Ridge also rejected partisan criticism that the timing of the latest warning was designed to knock John Kerry out of the headlines: "We do not do politics at the Department of Homeland Security," he said.
