We've all seen this on the news already, but is the United States domestic travel included???

It says "world wide" but then basically names the countries in the middle east, etc.

We have a young friend who works in an embassy abroad, now transferred from West Africa to Egypt.

Worried about what might happen. She never worries. I'm worried.

We also have family members flying several times this month domestically.....coast to coast. To me, world wide means the entire world.
Domestic flights I would not worry (much) about. Flying to the Middle East I would be more concerned. I agree that getting through security may take longer for the next week or maybe somewhat longer. I believe August is prime season for many Europeans to take their vacations -- what a coincidence that this is happening now. If we worry a lot about flying within the U.S. or to Canada and Europe then the terrorists have won. Just my 2 cents.
