The point is that terrorism occurs when there is no "reported threat", so like it or not, we are all at risk....everyday.

Agreed. But you make the reporter a hero for putting himself in harms way, even though he knew the dangers, and was warned.
Most Americans wouldn't run to a nuclear power plant to witness the explosion if they knew a terrorist was there to blow it up.

Most people wouldn't join special forces and jump out of airplanes and rescue hostages and swim through mud and whatever, either.....but I'm glad they are there. Most people wouldn't play with electricity (like Ben Franklin), most people wouldn't do alot of things. I'm glad there are some people who are not like most people.

People who put themselves in harm's way to do their jobs knowing full well the dangers, are heroes.
