With the advent of war in Iraq, schools find themselves once
again facing the possibility of an increased threat of terrorist
attacks against students and other Americans abroad. The
State Department warns, “Because security and security awareness
have been elevated within the United States, terrorists may target
U.S. interests overseas,” including, specifically, “restaurants, places
of worship, schools, hotels, outdoor recreation events, or resorts
and beaches.” Those are, of course, precisely the places where
American students in international study-abroad programs tend to
congregate.
