The papal funeral prompted yet more heightened security on Wall Street, amid fears that the congregation of world leaders in Rome could prompt a further terrorist attack. There were even more armed police than usual outside NYSE, which has been cordoned off since 9/11. However, at 60 Wall Street, Deutsche Bank's building, the security checks these days are even more rigorous. Not only is it necessary to offer photo ID to get access; now visitors are asked to show a debit or credit card as well.
