What to know about security measures at the Super Bowl in New Orleans

“The City of New Orleans says it has spent more than 18 months preparing to host its 11th Super Bowl on Feb. 9″

During this 18 month period of heightened awareness and preparation, a significant development took place.

Then:

“… truck-ramming attack early on Jan. 1 that killed 14 people and injured dozens more along Bourbon Street, one of the city’s most famous thoroughfares, alleged security lapses triggered multiple lawsuits and investigations.”

Now:

“We’re going above and beyond what we’ve seen in the past when we’ve hosted previously,” Mayor LaToya Cantrell said at a news conference. “We know we’re safer than we’ve ever been before.”

“Thousands of state, federal and local law enforcement officers will be on the ground during the Super Bowl, NFL Chief Security Officer Cathy Lanier said.”

“Federal agencies from the FBI to the Secret Service are bringing in rooftop snipers and BearCat armored SWAT vehicles around the stadium and across the city’s historic French Quarter and downtown, DeLaune said.”

“Dozens of technicians and more than 100 bomb-sniffing dogs are engaging in a days-long effort to scour the 400,000 square feet (37,161 square meters) of the Superdome and each of its more than 70,000 seats prior to game day, DeLaune said.”

“Multiple lawsuits have claimed city authorities were aware of Bourbon Street’s vulnerabilities to the kind of truck-ramming attack that the Islamic State group-inspired Shamsud-Din Jabbar carried out. He drove his F-150 around a police car parked as a makeshift barricade and plowed into pedestrians before he crashed and was killed by police.”

“No specific or credible threats” have surfaced targeting the Super Bowl, NFL security chief Lanier said Wednesday.

“Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry announced the creation of an “enhanced security zone” along Bourbon Street to bookend Super Bowl weekend and said he would deploy 350 national guardsmen.”

Various levels of government cave in on themselves at a New Orleans press conference after the Jan 1 event.

The Governor spoke. He said he was placing flags at half mast. He said he was sending the National Guard at 36:40 in the video below:

Real newspeople may ask:

Looks like the National Guard going in is part of reaction mode. The National Guard has people who have done one or more tours in Iraq or Afghanistan. Rather than use them in reaction mode, why not send them in prior to the Jan 1st event to do a quality control check on whatever security was in place at the time. What good are lessons learned in the GWOT if they are not put to use?

No Credible Threat?

Honest and meaningful ideas stand up to questioning and discussion.

The War on Terror has prompted elected officials and law enforcement authorities to calm the public by looking into the future and announcing that no credible threat exists.

Newspeople play along by not asking questions.

If the good guys can tell what the bad guys will do before they do it-surely, these powerful crime fighting tools will be used to shut down gang and cartel activity, fentanyl trafficking, bank robberies, mass casualty shootings, etc.

Highest level LE authorities/US Dept. of Homeland Security and the FBI played no role in preventing the “horrific act of terrorism” in New Orleans.

What threat level did authorities see in the days and hours prior to the January 1st event?

Now, they are ready to say there is no credible threat once again:

“No specific or credible threats” have surfaced targeting the Super Bowl, NFL security chief Lanier said Wednesday.

Zero questions from newspeople at the TV studios? That’s what keeps the fake GWOT rolling along.

In Years Past

Tune in to any Super Bowl in the post 911 era to see the press promote a big US Dept. of Homeland Security show of force to keep the big game safe. TV newspeople skip asking questions and play the role of federal public affairs staff instead:

The folks who can’t keep fentanyl trafficking cartels from moving product into various US communities are keeping the Super Bowl safe. Way To Go Team.
