The level of terrorism is about the same as it has always been. The media and government have just become more alarmist as they have realised the profitability of fear.

I suspect that there has been an increase in holidays within the UK as a consequence of the combination of a really hot summer and an inability to navigate an airport within a reasonable timeframe. However, perhaps the single biggest act to increase the number of people holidaying within the uk is still to come - the introduction of biometric data requirements on UK passports, with the rumour that it will increase the cost of obtaining a passport to just over £100. For a family of four, that would make the cost of a typical package holiday in say the costa del sol suddenly seem a lot less attractive than a trip down the M5 to Cornwall for the budget-conscious.

NO. Does not make a difference for me coz I don't stop living my life fearing the possibility of death.
I agree with the person above.I believe that if I was meant to die, I'd die right now writting this choking on my snack!!! So why stop myself from seeing the beautiful world.
Hell if I died it'd be worth it at least I died pursuing something I really wanted to do.

I have always wanted to see more of my own country anyway, I would not fly to America again (have been there a million times anyway) but maybe I would consider going abroad again after I have seen what I want to see in the UK.

I dont think we should live in fear,that is exactly what these people want us to do.I will go about my travels as before.If everyone stops travelling by plane the terrorists will have got their own way.Then they will go one step further.
