Overkill!!
This is not Hollywood - the real world afterall!! What are they going to achieve with a single helicopter if there is a real terrorist attack or threat? You must be joking!! Once again some bureaucratic government official that waisted $4.5 million of state taxes that could have been spend on something more worthwhile.
Leave this for the military that is fully qualified for anti-terrorism operations. Let the police do the FLIR car chases and the rest of the duties that are associated with a police air wing.
Rest my case. I have my armoured-plated jacket on - fire away!!
