2. Introduction
• More and more Americans are traveling oversees as
tourists, whether for relaxation, site seeing, heritage,
adventure, or other reasons.
• Since the terror attacks of September 11th 2001,
Americans have been vulnerable to attack at home and
abroad.
• Security for our citizens should be a priority and
responsibility of both our government and individual
tourists.
