Hey, I know, why not just put the Statue in a giant Lexan case? 

See, they could recycle all those Nalgene bottles people are scared to use now...

Put that line 250 yards out & it really seems like all in all, you get a marginal increase in safety from terrorists at the cost of a pretty likely major decrease in the safety & enjoyment of both commercial & recreational craft in the area.
