Just read an article that the US is putting out a travel advisory because the US And UK uncovered an Al Queda plot to assemble teams of armed gunmen to go into europeon cities that have a lot of people and just shoot down as many people as possible.

Anyone in Europe nervous about this at all?

I'd be more nervous of the risk of living in the US  and being shot by a fellow US citizen to be honest.  The chance of being shot in the US by someone FROM the US is far higher than the same risk of being shot by a terrorist in the UK or Europe.  FAR higher.  Maybe Europe should give the same advice to its citizens wanting to go on Holiday in the US.   Pathetic.

yes,all we do in the U.S. is shoot each other,give me a break. It's just a cautious warning. It's not like there keeping U.S. citizens from going to the UK. There just saying be vigilante. That's all,no need to get worked up over it.

where did i say that? 

I am merely stating a statistical fact that there is more chance of you being shot by a US citizen in the US than there is of coming here and being shot by a terrorist.  Actually, there is more chance of you being killed in a car accident near your home than there is of being shot by a terrorist over here.  Do they give you a "cautious warning" not to leave your bed in the morning.  I fucking hate the health and safety and risk assessment world we have become.  Idiotic.

How is leaving your bed in the morning comparable to being cautious of a terrorist plot? Nothing will probably happen,but you can't be to careful. Intel must have uncovered something? The U.S. goverment has issued warnings in the U.S. in the past(although it's been along while). Again you can't be to careful,would you rather have the U.S. goverment just say nothing? What if something actually does happen,then U.S. citizens will get outraged because the goverment said nothing and knew something was going on.
