Citizens across the United States are concerned about the possibility of further attacks, as they implement measures to enhance national security.
Cities across the U.S. are starting this year with high-alert security, following the Bourbon Street attack in New Orleans and the vehicle explosion outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas.
Such incidents have caused more fear of threats, in a month packed with large-scale public events, including former President Jimmy Carter's state funeral on January 9 and President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20.
The Sugar Bowl in New Orleans was postponed by one day due to the attack, resulting in enhanced security measures with detection dogs utilized at the event.
In New York, there was enhanced security outside of Trump Tower, key train stations like Penn Station, and several other venues across the city.
Before the anniversary of the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, the FBI released new footage of the unsolved pipe bomb case.
The suspect placed two pipe bombs near the Capitol before the attack, but police deactivated them. The FBI has received over 600 tips and offered a $500,000 reward, but after four years, they still have not identified the suspect.
