The hikers illegally crossed the border into Iran, albeit probably by accident. Your "innocent" journalists, on the other hand, did intentionally cross the border into North Korea and pretty much deserved what they got.

So, no, I really don't see North Korea kidnapping tourists who come in on state-organized package tours.
