'Unprecedented' security for Pope despite no credible threats

New York Police Department barricades are seen Sept. 9 near the residence of Archbishop Bernardito Auza, Vatican nuncio to the United Nations, in New York City's Upper East Side community. The barricades will be used for security purposes when Pope Francis stays with Archbishop Auza during his visit to New York Sept. 24-26.
