Recent threats of terrorist attacks have caused the United States, Britain, and now Japan to raise the level of caution when traveling to Europe. Although the U.S. and Japan have not listed names of countries, Britain has increased the warning level from "general" to "high" with regards of traveling to Germany and France. The United States has told Americans traveling or living in Europe to be cautious and protect their personal security. The State Department has stated that this does not mean not to travel, but to be more aware and vigilant when traveling. In fact, many Americans have insisted on traveling and enjoying their time, but they have reported that they are indeed more vigilant and are keeping a watchful eye.
The terrorist threats that have accumulated over the past week may be legitimate - and in that case all necessary precautions should, and are, being taken - but, this could also be the psychological warfare we have so often seen. Threats like these often strike fear and inject a sense insecurity into the people. Regardless of the reality, these threats shall not be taken as a joke - precautionary measures and actions will and have been taken. The security of the American - and other foreign powers - is the top priority.
