    I walked past dozens of fully armed military personnel in Penn Station 10 minutes ago, and didn't see anyone overreacting. It's u fortunate they're required at all, but their presence makes you feel like you're in the safest place there could be.

    Penn Station would probably rank very high in the safest places in the world index. The SOE advisories for Jamaican tourists are ridiculous.

    For instance, my dentist is a huge fan of live Mobay music. For 30 years he and his very timid wife have done AIs in Mobay and hit the clubs for music after dark, AND they have known for 30+ years that after sunset you need to be more aware, and not so &^%$ed up that you forget that tidbit. Basic common sense no matter where you happen to be on planet Earth. Home or abroad. The basic language of the all new profound SOE advisories - big whoop. If the US issued an advisory every time they took military action via the local and state police on US soil the internet would break.

    The Jamaican govt should consider a class action lawsuit against the govt agencies in the countries that have harmed the travel industry with this nonsense. Or, the next Norwegian tourist that gets jacked in a rental car a block from O'Hara or JFK should file a lawsuit against the US State Department for not considering their safety.

    Cool Runnings to you John! Two blocks from Penn Station should be under a SOE alert, same with 30th Street in Philly, and especially Union Station in DC.
