    U.S. Coast Guard PADET New York

    A member of the Maritime Security Response Team's chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive (CBRNE) team shines his flashlight on an object believed to contain simulated radiation inside a Staten Island Ferry during an exercise in New York Harbor, March 19, 2014. The CBRNE team can confirm or deny, triage, identify, and decontaminate hazardous material, while tactically operating in a non-permissive, contaminated environment. The team was part of a large-scale exercise involving federal, state and local port partners, to guard against maritime terrorism threats. U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 2nd Class Jetta H.
