There are more checks at the statue.The latter include a device that blows air
through clothing and tests for evidence of explosive particles. The State of
Liberty is among the first sites with the technology.On September 11, 2001, the
second of two hijacked jetliners skimmed low over the statue just seconds
before crashing into the World Trade Center's south tower, 11/2 miles away. The
12 acres of Liberty Island were closed to the public for two months after the
attacks.Most of the 152-foot copper figure was sealed off to visitors and will
remain so.But visitors may choose between two tours: a walk around the
promenade atop the star-shaped fort on which the statue stands or an elevator
ride inside the pedestal to the calf level of the figure, about 10 stories
high, to gaze upward through a glass partition at the steel girders and
armatures holding it together and view the harbor panorama from a narrow
observation deck.Also reopened is a museum inside the base that details the
history of the Statue of Liberty, including such artifacts as the original
lit-from-within torch, which was replaced during a 1986 renovation with a
gilded version lit from outside.Parkinson said the government "has not
foreclosed" the idea of eventually reopening the statue's body so visitors
could once again climb to the crown, but safety factors make that unlikely.
