I am writing this report under the 'See something say something' motto; well what I saw I found the need to say something.  Working the CBA position I saw that the sports TFR went into effect.  I tagged a violator about 10 miles south of the TFR tracking northbound along the Hudson River.  The target was 100' feet above the exclusion area.  The altitude was not verified.  I called LGA CBA position to alert them of the violator.  After numerous attempts to reach the subject aircraft; I tried on the Hudson River freq. (CTAF 123.05) however; I did not reach the aircraft who was heading right for the TFR at 1400' indicated.  I called LGA and handed off the violator to their CBA position. This aircraft was not intercepted; but simply handed off to another sector north of the LGA CBA position.  What is the point of having a TFR without any type of law enforcement aircraft to intercept a target of interest?  Was this a dry run?  Was this a test leading up to what could be a disaster?  Numerous co workers said I was over reacting.  We (NYC) are one of the biggest targets in the world.  A packed stadium and a terrorist dry run without any type of patrol is terrible.A circle on a radar map and a NOTAM issued means nothing if you are not going to patrol the TFR. It's obvious that some type of security risk is present because a TFR is issued for every sporting event. A security risk with no guard is like having the metal detectors at the airport with no TSA.
EWR Tower Controller complains about a VFR aircraft that is getting close to a MLB TFR.  His complaint is there is no security or an intercept aircraft to discover or track the violating aircraft.
