Ditto. I never did the backpacking thing but I have travelled a lot. Went to London last year right after the bombings, the transit officers, police, etc. were so soliticous it was almost embarassing. I felt like a little old lady.
I also went to New York for July 4th the summer after 911…same experience. Never saw so many NYPD officers in my life.
My son also went to Eypgt last April right before an incident there and had the same experiences with security, etc… these places are so grateful for tourism that they go out of their way to take precautions. (Boy our family has great timing huh?)
