I've Been Thinking:

On Wednesday and Thursday New York City Transit Authority Police was on high alert.

Police were everywhere.
They had a received a threat.
According to a plan hatched in September, there was going to be a terrorist attack on NYC subways or on other NYC mass transit on Thanksgiving.

The threats were credible, but unsubstantiated.
Credible means that the intelligence source that uncovered the threat was reliable and trustworthy and that the information given was real and should be taken seriously.
Unsubstantiated means that there was no other source corroborating the original intelligence source and its interpretation.

It means that decision makers must assume that the threat is real and accurate. It means they must use the necessary measures to prevent the terrorists from reaching their targets.
And that is exactly what New York’s Finest did.
