Local law enforcement officials say they are maintaining their vigilance against potential terrorist attacks this weekend despite indications that Hawaii is not a target in a new, unconfirmed national terrorist threat.

“We are actively combing through data from both the law enforcement and intelligence communities for any threat affecting our region,” FBI Special Agent Tom Simon said Friday. “So far, we’ve seen nothing that causes us concern for Hawaii.”

Nonetheless, local FBI officials contacted chiefs of police throughout the state as soon as they heard of the new terror threats at about noon Thursday “to share what we knew and start planning a coordinated response,” he said.

It is critical that local law enforcement take any terrorism threats seriously, Simon said.

“Much of Hawaii’s economy relies on our appeal as a safe place to visit, so we recognize the extra importance of our mission to prevent future attacks here,” Simon said. “We can’t afford to get it wrong, even once.”

He urged the public to call in any source of concern, including suspicious abandoned packages in public areas and newly abandoned cars that seem out of place.

Honolulu Police Chief Louis Kealoha echoed those comments in a written statement.

“Currently there is no information indicating any threat to Hawaii,” Kealoha said.

“We are continuing to monitor incoming information and are encouraging the public to be vigilant and to report suspicious activity by calling 911 (for emergencies and inprogress activity) or HPD’s anti-terrorism hotline, 225-5473 (CALLHPD).”

The state Department of Transportation is not planning to limit access to facilities or beef up security this weekend, but reports of a terrorist plot have not gone unnoticed.

“We’re stressing increased vigilance to our security staff and all of our employees,” said Department of Transportation spokesman Dan Meisenzahl.

Stanford Miyamoto, Transportation Security Administration acting federal security director for Honolulu Airport, said the agency is increasing staffing and putting in place other security measures in response to the elevated threat level.

“We are taking measures to mitigate the threat. I can’t go into specifics with regards to that. We have a multitude of layered security in place,” he said. “Even though it’s not specific to Honolulu, there is still a possibility that a threat could affect Honolulu, so we will do everything to mitigate any potential threat.”
