New Orleans flings open its doors this week to the biggest party in American sports, welcoming thousands of tourists weeks after a New Year's Day attack on the city's iconic Bourbon Street.

Federal law enforcement agencies are rolling out one of the most extensive Super Bowl security operations in recent history, following the deadly New Year’s Day terrorist attack in New Orleans.

With the sheer amount of law enforcement on every street corner and security measures in place, “New Orleans will be the safest place to be anywhere in the country,” said Phillip Constantin, an adviser with the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
