The premise of the article is that it materially changes the probability that you're a victim of a terrorist attack. IMHO, the entire article is based on a faulty premise for almost anywhere in the world a normal tourist would travel.

On the 0.0001% chance you happen to be in the exact spot of a terrorist attack, whether or not you are wearing a bum bag, a Hawaiian shirt, and a Yankees lid isn't going to change the outcome.
