 Worldwide Travel Alert Last Updated: November 23, 2015
The State Department alerts U.S. citizens to possible risks of travel due to increased terrorist threats. Current information suggests that ISIL (aka Da’esh), al-Qa’ida, Boko Haram, and other terrorist groups continue to plan terrorist attacks in multiple regions. These attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics, using conventional and non-conventional weapons and targeting both official and private interests. This Travel Alert expires on February 24, 2016.
Authorities believe the likelihood of terror attacks will continue as members of ISIL/Da’esh return from Syria and Iraq. Additionally, there is a continuing threat from unaffiliated persons planning attacks inspired by major terrorist organizations but conducted on an individual basis. Extremists have targeted large sporting events, theatres, open markets, and aviation services. In the past year, there have been multiple attacks in France, Nigeria, Denmark, Turkey, and Mali. ISIL/Da’esh has claimed responsibility for the bombing of a Russian airliner in Egypt.
U.S. citizens should exercise vigilance when in public places or using transportation. Be aware of immediate surroundings and avoid large crowds or crowed places. Exercise particular caution during the holiday season and at holiday festivals or events. U.S. citizens should monitor media and local information sources and factor updated information into personal travel plans and activities. Persons with specific safety concerns should contact local law enforcement authorities who are responsible for the safety and security of all visitors to their host country. U.S. citizens should:
   Follow the instructions of local authorities. Monitor media and local information sources and factor updated information into personal travel plans and activities.    Be prepared for additional security screening and unexpected disruptions.    Stay in touch with your family members and ensure they know how to reach you in the event of an emergency.    Register in our Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP).
Foreign governments have taken action to guard against terrorist attacks, and some have made official declarations regarding heightened threat conditions. Authorities continue to conduct raids and disrupt terror plots. We continue to work closely with our allies on the threat from international terrorism. Information is routinely shared between the United States and our key partners in order to disrupt terrorist plotting, identify and take action against potential operatives, and strengthen our defenses against potential threats.

I may know of a group or two that will do the same thing.
Then again, I might not.

The wording is interesting.
No distinction here between US citizens abroad and those in public places in their own home towns. And transportation... any and all. And right before the American holiday of Thanksgiving, when the US airports [and highways of course] are jammed with domestic travelers.
Reminds me of a Bob Dylan song.
"They'll stone ya when you're riding in your car..."
Hmmm. And that ain't the only place.
Well, they'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good
They'll stone ya just a-like they said they would
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home
Then they'll stone ya when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Well, they'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street
They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor
They'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door
I was just thinking of that song the other day
I altered the lyrics slightly... to fit the situation here in my doped up lil town
“But I would not feel so all alone...but
Everybody here is stoned:....
Or bombed, as it were!
If nothing else, it's going to be a good week for alcohol sales.
“Yes, America he has built this; exactly as planned. We are no-longer free to roam about the world: A World Wide Travel Alert”
Glad to hear that!
Sounds good to me!
Nice going with the Rasta beanie, lol.
UBFunny!
I love all moozlums. Wouldn’t it be a great idea to bring in 100,000 (or more) into America with no vetting...and to pay them welfare?
Thank you
Ive done an Obie....for just about every occasion
There are people that I know (and that is all I’m going to say) that are living and working in Brussels.
Let’s all say a prayer for the people of Brussels and for loved ones that we have there in harm’s way.
Riiiiight ... and Mo Ham Head wasn’t a pedophile.
Maybe it's time the WORLD addresses the REAL problem - ISLAM, and stop listening to these idiots!
Obama wearing ring even before marriage.
Summary, “It’s a Mad Mo in the neighborhood today .... stay home”.
ISIS means Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Obamament didn’t want to admit they were in Syria, so they called them ISIL, Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, using a name for Syria and Lebanon that no one understands or uses anymore.
That guy with the Bamster, there. Sets off my GAYDAR even stronger than the late Freddy Mercury of Queen...
That is a very good question. The world is in many ways worse off than when he won the Noble. Anything to the good I doubt can be attributed to him.
Strongly resent Eff’ing Liberal Muslim Marxist sympathizers for ruining the Western world’s future and limiting so many of our freedoms.
By capitulating to Islamic savages, we now are prisoners of their threats.
They’re ruined Europe for both legitimate citizen and tourist alike.
Our world is a more smaller, dangerous, limited place because of progressive-islamo collaboration.
