Towers of the Confederate States of America.

If they will not say what they are, then TEAR THEM DOWN!

I would assume its a little of everything.

Facial recognition cameras
IED sniffers
Radiation detectors
Thermal cameras
Probably some X-ray capability
Possibly a focused emp device, to neutralize any potential truck bombs

Cell/radio monitoring?

I saw on Fox today that one of the intelligence agencies said that "Drone attacks are imminent."

Not sure if it means there is high possibility they could be used, or, if there is a credible threat and an attack plan has been uncovered and likely to happen.

It's a Mario tunnel.

Drop illegals in it and they pop out of a water slide into the rio grande. MAGA once again

Hack those things to play The Star Spangled Banner and while everyone is on their knees, immobilized, you could have the run of the city.

Hmmmm....

Quoted:
Plate readers and explosive sniffers. The heavy grating on the first 10 feet is probably there because of the prevalence of scumbags in NY who would rape upon them and head to the nearest scrapyard with their winnings.

Nuclear material I would bet. The DOD has used a similar device in the past but they were unreliable. DOT truck weigh stations on the interstates have them also.

If it's for Department of ~~Homeland~~ Internal Security "technology" it is unpatriotic to ask what's inside and what it does.

We all want to be patriotic, right?

Given their reluctance to discuss them - it's one of two things:

1. Anti-Terror Security Measures that likely infringe on a lot of privacy.
2. WAY Over priced light poles that padded the pockets of some MTA officials and the contractors who built them.

equally possible

Or it could just be another shovel ready $$ scam.

I'm guessing they're mostly empty.

If I were a malicious statist, I would put them up with some lights and cameras in them to get people used to the idea without really doing anything, but leave lots of empty space inside. Once the few people who got riled up about their installation settle down, then I'd start installing the millimeter wave scanners, stringrays, and flouride mist dispensers.

Schumer wanted to give grants to companies so they could develop firearm detectors in vehicles. Smart one that Chuckie, detect small metal objects inside a large moving metal object.

There was a thread about it here some years ago.

Kind of what I was thinking. If every one of them has fiber optics they can all pull some serious bandwidth.
