Nah......an individual security person or two might not like it (and the Ambassador who wanted attention), but the State Department doesn't tell American citizens to leave countries because they're bugged by the extra work.

This is media exaggeration an least........complete fabrication at worst. That's just my take on it.

It's not just a leftist journalist, it's the local press, which is believed in many, many countries. If some BA newspaper says they were running nekkid in the hallway, then a good portion of the population will believe it. What's more, the story will be picked up by papers around the world and will be believed.

Also, they not just Ameican citizens.
