In what way has the risk increased? The US has issued a world wide travel alert, americans are at risk everywhere which basicly means US citizens should go home to avoid being targetted. Now I wouldn't have thought US citizens were particularly visible where I live, however, target of opportunity. My own government has suggested that there are places its citizens should not go under pain of prosecution but otherwise caution is suggested, France is problematic at the moment because of security measures

Americans stick out like sour thumbs in other countries because of their dress, mannerisms, hygiene and speech, it has been that way for quite sometime...

If you don't learn how to blend in then you become a prime target...

Yes, that bad smell that just passed by surrounded by strange words spoken at the top of your voice, very visable but unneccessarily so. Floral shirts and scanty clothing do identify americans easily but more often than not it is the confused expression while holding a map upside down. They really only are a target for shysters and pickpockets unless they are foolish enough to go to the wrong place or break a local law. I am unaware of an american tourist being attacked here in years so I wonder at the world wide alert

To put it in context;

The US consulate in Melbourne has issued its first security alert this century to American citizens in Victoria and beyond, saying a terrorist attack is likely.

The alert has been triggered by the charging last weekend of a ­17-year-old with engaging in an act in preparation for, or planning, a terrorist act, which followed the unrelated arrest of two ­18-year-olds charged with similar offences allegedly planned for Anzac Day. All are Melbourne residents.

The US warning — a “warden message” — reminds its citizens that the national terrorism public alert level remains set by the Australian government at “high”. It says: “Australian National Security has stated that a terrorist attack is ­likely to occur in Australia.”

The warning notes the arrest of the 17-year-old in Melbourne “as part of a broader counter-terrorism operation.” Due to the nature of this threat, it says: “US citizens are reminded to be aware of your surroundings during this time of heightened alert, and report … any suspicious individuals or items you may see.”

The consulate urges US citizens “to review your personal secu­rity plan, remain aware of your surroundings, including local events, and monitor local news stations for updates’’.

“Maintain a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to enhance your personal security,” it continues.

A spokeswoman for the US ­embassy in Canberra said yesterday that all US overseas missions were mandated by congress to share ­information that may impact on an expatriate community.

This ensured that “there is no double standard” — although the alerts derive from relevant open-sourced reports rather than intel­ligence-gathering.

The Sydney consulate sent a warden message to US citizens in NSW during the Martin Place Lindt cafe siege in December.

Cyclone warnings are also ­issued to Americans living in the north of Australia when the risk becomes severe.

New Zealanders living and travelling in Australia are also now warned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Wel­lington “to take account of the terror threat level”. Its Safetravel website notes the raising last September of the threat level for Australia to high: “This means security authorities regard a terrorist attack as likely.”

It says: “Internationally trained terrorists and groups and domestic-based extremists are the predominant threat.

“Terrorist groups in Syria and Iraq continue to plan attacks against the West. Australia has identified concerns related to foreign fighters returning to Australia from conflicts in these countries.”

The Canadian Foreign Ministry also notes the raising of the ­national terrorism public alert level, and directs its citizens to the relevant Australian government website.

The British Foreign Office, too, points to the “high” terrorism alert level for Australia, adding a warning about “a heightened threat of terrorist attack globally against UK interests and British nationals, from groups or individuals motivated by the conflict in Iraq and Syria. You should be vigilant at this time.”

It also warns of “serious sexual assaults against British ­nationals in Australia” and lists threats from “dangerous animal species” inclu­ding crocodiles, jellyfish, sharks, insects, spiders and snake

please note all of this is old news

"lists threats from “dangerous animal species” inclu­ding crocodiles, jellyfish, sharks, insects, spiders and snake" the more likely secenario, I wonder if any of these are muslim terrorists?

" The consulate urges US citizens “to review your personal secu­rity plan, remain aware of your surroundings, including local events, and monitor local news stations for updates’’. "

And further recommends that for each handgun, to carry at least 5 spare mags, loaded with Federal Hydra Shoks, and maybe a couple RPG's, or a shotgun loaded with No 4 Buck, and a 50 rd bandoleer.

Then, when you encounter any muslims, do not wait for them to scream allah akbar, do not hesitate, open fire.

Prizes will be awarded for the highest daily head count

Be sure to enjoy your vacation! ;)
