FBI, DHS, New Orleans cops all ignore citizen's attempts to warn of possible bomb threat

"I explained briefly what I was looking at and was transferred to another number. Nobody picked up. I think I left a message, [but I'm not sure because] I often get tired of all those telephone menus and hang up. Nobody called back." —Joseph T. Wilkins, a retired municipal judge in Brigantine, N.J., who noticed a suspicious, large, unattended suitcase in the French Quarter of New Orleans via a live webcam feed. For about six hours, the New Orleans police, the FBI and DHS all ignored his many and varied attempts to say something after he'd seen something.
