In fact AA and the other airlines DID bring in a waive fee cancel after the bombing in Boston .

Read the link you supplied it was the ability to CX your tkt but to push it off w/o any fees. Could be if you tell AA youd like to move the trip to later next month they may work with you. But you simply dont want to go at all and I dont believe that was an option with BOS
btw I would still go down the road to get them to wavier it,nothing to lose, only I wouldnt have high expectations that they will agree and wavier it.
I understand you, does AA offer travel ins on its award tkts or Im sure theres a company that does
