summary : Its obvious that in times like this, terrorist alerts have been steadily gaining and it doesn't seem to be fluctuating anytime soon. In countries like Spain, england and Germany american tourists are always there year after year. Countries fear that the high grossing amount of American citizens would bait in terrorists. Which could lead to many homeland and foreign deaths. now governments are trying to raise the alerts in an attempt to scarring foreigners of traveling into their countries.

Reaction: I think its unfair for European countries to scare American and other foreign citizens from entering their own countries just because their security is bad. However they in their own sense are hypocrites. Simply because they head to this country for their own accord and business. I honestly think this is their way of being legally selfish without any repercussion. I think it will because of this, that will lead to a terrorist bombing or attack. 


World Impact: This may seem like a small issue to many. however soon all countries will start to scare travelers or people who are trying to do international commerce overseas. Which will ultimately be bad for business, especially small ones who need the economic boost in times like this. By keeping the terrorist alerts at their actual level, without over exaggerative it will help show the country that they are not weak.
