This is really crazy text. It reads like, "U.S. citizens everywhere should scuttle like rats through alleys and sewers." I see little use in telling every U.S. citizen traveling anywhere to always be on guard. Humans just don't have this capacity for eternal heightened vigilance, nor do I think it's even healthy to ramp people up this way when their real change in global risk seems very, very limited.

But sewers are where the Surgeon General tells me I'm at increased risk of contracting communicable diseases. And alleys are where the FBI tells me I'm more likely to be mugged or raped. Whatever are we to do?
