But you've illustrated my point: a travel warning against Greece (due to lax airport security) would have little bearing on beachgoers sitting in Mykonos. Nor would it account for the reality that travelers will spend only 30 minutes in any Greek airport, and the odds of having a problem might actually be quite miniscule

Whatever you might think about the effectiveness of a travel warning against Greece, I can assure you the Greek government took it very seriously as did many travel agencies.

I can assure you the Greek government took it very seriously as did many travel agencies.

Which I suppose is good, but it says nothing one way or the other about the accuracy of State Dept. travel warnings,

which typically cite no reason, rationale, or evidence for their findings.

And typically (this is a good thing), State's cautions don't come to fruition.
