A LEGLESS man being pushed in a wheelchair by two people managed to plant a crude explosive device at a New York City train station.

The New York Post reported today that a canvas bag left near a waiting area contained a "pyrotechnic" with shotgun shells taped to it.

The 57-year-old disabled man, Perry Roosevelt, was arrested along with one of the men with him.

Roosevelt planted the homemade bomb at the 125th Street Metro-North station yesterday afternoon, causing trains to be re-routed for two hours.

Secret Service Computers Only Work at 60 Percent Capacity; Agency Uses 1980s Mainframe

System Is 'Fragile' and Cannot Sustain Tempo of Current or Future Operational Missions

A classified review of the United States Secret Service's computer technology found that the agency's computers were fully operational only 60 percent of the time due to outdated systems and reliance on a computer mainframe system from the 1980s, according to Sen. Joseph Lieberman.
(Getty Images)"We have here a premiere law enforcement organization in our country which is responsible for the security of the president and the vice president and other officials of our government, and they have to have better IT than they have," said Lieberman, who is chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee.

Sources tell ABC News that the Secret Service was so plagued by computer problems that the agency invited the National Security Agency to formally review its information technology systems. The Secret Service's databases are outdated and users are at times unable to conduct searches from one system to another.

Lieberman says he's had "concern for a while" about the Secret Service computers. A 60 percent, fully operational average is far worse than "industry and government standards that are around 98 percent generally," Lieberman said.
