Because if the lights hadn't been on and no one could be seen moving around up there, they would have pulled on the doors, found them locked tight, and moved on.

Well, since some that area has had power back since Sunday, I wouldn't think that lights on in a building would be that suspicious of a thing.

NEW YORK, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Utility operator Entergy Corp. (ETR.N: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Sunday it has restored power to key New Orleans locations as work crews entered the partially submerged city under National Guard escort.

Entergy reactivated its Market Street substation which restored power to part of the city's business district, part of the French Quarter tourist area and the convention center, which had been a makeshift shelter, company spokeswoman Kelle Barfield told Reuters.

Still, Entergy workers were able to enter New Orleans on Sunday and bring power back to part of the French Quarter and the convention center. And while three critical oil refineries downriver of New Orleans remain without power, the company has restored electricity to five refineries farther inland.

But someone was in the building, so again I ask, if it wasn't a waste of their time to investigate initially and they were already in the building, why would it be a waste of time to do a complete investigation once it was learned that building security was breeched and others could have gotten in?
