The U.S. State Department’s travel alert about terrorist threats in Europe should serve to raise travelers’ awareness about potential problems rather than suggest they abandon plans to visit. As the alert says, European governments have taken steps to prevent attacks and spoken publicly about the heightened threats. Travelers need to know that targets could be public transportation systems or other tourist infrastructure, but also remember that such threats are not new, only heightened because of current information obtained by security agencies.
