I'm sorry. I didn't and didn't mean to offend.

Do you know the difference between a warning, an alert and a caution? I can compare an alert and warning defined by the site but unsure if a caution precedes [less of a threat] or succeeds [a greater threat] those two. |

We used to operate on the basis if there was any note other than OK we did not allow our people to go there/where ever. It eliminated the usual opinions of the varying players from the equation. And usually customers in those areas completely understand/understood the situation. We made sure we had very competent reps in those areas to represent us in just such times. Some companies did it by rank of those traveling. I could not in good consience ever expect anyone to go where I was not be allowed to go or would not go. |

Re-read the State Dept. page. It is a Worldwide Caution. It is an UPDATE of one posted in October.
Travel with the normal precautions and most of us are seasoned travellers so we already take precautions. I am certainly not going to travel to Syria, African countries, or to the Mid-East and that is my own choosing and not based on written cautions. I know enough not to go into unfriendly environments and sure hope my fellow travellers do, too. |

Exactly. Common sense travel precautions & safety awareness.

Exactly. Common sense travel precautions & safety awareness as you mention. Ditto for our own country (as what place is totally safe anymore with all of the nuts loose "out & about??"). When our son traveled with his wife to Australia, China.....& also New Zealand, they knew to be "aware". Same for Italy, Great Britain, etc. I am a bit concerned when he has to fly to Mexico City on business, but he's a big boy at age 44. We feel safe where we are in New England, however, the next book on our 2 Kindles might change that "perception or illusion of safety".........it's "Day of Wrath" released this past August by William Foerstner..........novel re Islamist terrorists** taking over schools all over OUR COUNTRY.......beginning in Maine, of all places. A cautionary tale......same as his book on an E.M.P. strike in the U.S......which we are almost finished with. Those doomsday preppers weren't so crazy after all. **ISIS to be exact. |

I really don't think you are watching CNN, or MSNBC, Sandtrap. I haven't watched Fox News for days and I think CNN and MSNBC tends more toward your views. There is a danger to American citizens from Islamic extremists that wasn't there a month ago. Trying to be fair, trying to see things, umm p correctly can obscure the facts of the world. Go back to defining the problem. It's your hide and mine and our kids and our grandkids. Good morning Sandtrap. Keep an open mind to current information. You are a child of the universe. AND I am NOT a fearmonger. I am a realist. Eric Holder added the disclaimer, "I hope I am not stereotyping anyone" when he said this. Hmmmmph.

That's why I postponed my mid-life crises until I was 55.
