It seems inevitable that there will be attack and defense exchanges generated each time this "warning" business comes up and
that apples/oranges dueling statistics are tossed about citing various U.S. inner-city ghettos which would not be tourism
destinations other than for the most clueless and (likely) not even them.
Also inevitable is the nonsensical argument that the Department of State should warn citizens regarding those
domestic danger zones.
Which, of course, ignores the FACT that said areas are covered extensively (and sensationally) ad nauseam by the news media.
One would think that the various advisories, cautions and warnings would be appreciated by all regardless of the destinations involved. IF they are
researched by those who would be affected, the prospective traveler will simply have additional information to guide their decisions.

And, you're less likely to GO before your time. |
