Boston's 4th Celebration Brings More Security

Cities across the country are beefing up security for their July 4th celebrations, since it’s the largest public event since the Boston Marathon bombings.

In Boston, in addition to more police, National Guard members will be manning security checkpoints. And if you look up, you’ll see more security cameras, too.
