The United States issued a worldwide travel alert for Americans for concerns that terror groups and individuals plan more attacks after the Paris massacre. The State Department warned that groups like ISIS, al-Qaeda, and Boko Haram "continue to plan terrorist attacks in multiple regions", including the United States and Western interests in Europe. Also warned that individuals may carry out their own attacks. The alert does not force Americans to avoid travel, but it does urge U.S. citizens to "exercise vigilance when in public places or using transportation." The State Department said in the alert, "Be aware of immediate surroundings and avoid large crowds or crowded places. Exercise particular caution during the holiday season and at holiday festivals or events."
How does this make you feel? Do you think ISIS or any other terror group will make their way to the United States? Why?
This personally makes me feel scared because we probably won't close our borders to prevent people coming into the States, so I think a terror group could make their way into our country.

Well done!
I wouldn't say that I am scared but a little freaked out because on events such as black friday there are tons and tons of people in stores and that could get terrorists eyes. I am not sure if ISIS or another terrorist group will make their way to the United States, but if they did I think that the U.S. will be ready for it.
I agree about the Black Friday, especially if Obama goes into office in Omaha underground the terrorist are gonna want to be where he is to possibly end his life if they can.
Its scary to think that ISIS can come to the US and bomb us or kill us. I think it would be easy for ISIS to come into the US.
I agree, especially when we don't close our borders.
I agree that they will make their way into the U.S. because we don't close our borders, and it would be easy to get stuff to blow up the place if they have connections with people in the U.S. that are traitors to their own country.
I think a terror group could wiggle their way into here...in fact I'm sure there are some in here already. But, I think we should be able to stop any attack before it happens.
I agree, but I don't think we will be able to stop an attack. Just like 9/11 no one saw it coming, so we will probably not see this attack coming, if they attack.
This alert definitely is scary because it reminds us that Paris is thought to be only the beginning of these attacks and that there could be many more involving soft targets and events with crowds of people. I feel that ISIS has already made their way into the US, for I saw on the news the other day that ISIS has trained military assassins in 15 states across America, totaling up to around 80 trained personnel. In reality, ISIS could attack America very easily which is why people must be aware of the danger while traveling and going to events.
This makes me scared of just being in public places. I think they will soon get into the U.S. just because our border patrol can't prevent everyone from coming in and these people we are fighting aren't rookies for the most case.
