Well maybe most Americans are right considering those two bombs went off yesterday in Turkey...

Personally I would love to goto Turkey or any other Arab Country and would have no problem going now.

Americans are the most paranoid travellers on earth of course, so I have little doubt loads are and will be down.

I was in Turkey 2 weeks ago and tourism is down horrendously as nearly all US tourists cancelled for summer.

Why? Because Turkey is an "Arabic" country. I kid you not. Durrhhh.

You are statistically FAR more likely to be killed in an auto accident to or from any USA airport, anytime, than on or in a plane. But that will not stop the loads shrinking.

And yes .. why is this thread is the UA forum? &lt;IMG SRC="http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif"&gt;
