New Orleans terrorist attack victims and survivors have filed a civil lawsuit against city leaders for negligence after Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove his truck into Bourbon Street crowds.

A cohort of 21 survivors and relatives of victims killed in the New Year’s Day truck attack is suing city officials, accusing them of failing to take the appropriate safety precautions before the incident, despite knowing the French Quarter was vulnerable to an attack for nearly a decade.

The bag checks started Wednesday on Bourbon Street, and they weren't what I was expecting. Why it matters: All eyes are on security measures in New Orleans as the city hosts the Super Bowl and a presidential visit.

Following a terror attack on New Year’s Day in New Orleans’ French Quarter, city officials assure that security measures for Sunday’s Super Bowl are robust and comprehensive. I’ve visited Bourbon Street numerous times in the last couple decades and never seen a security presence like this one.
