When you travel to a foreign country, terrorism is not the only factor of risk. There's also plain criminality. And you can find it in abundace in every big city, be it Alexandria or NYC.

Anyway, every year millions of people go to Egypt and come back home safely. Unfortunately, some people die. It can be because of a kamikaze attack in Sharm el Sheik, or it can be because of a drunk teenager driving to fast in your direction. You know, life sucks!

Still all this ranting about putting at risk the life of wikimedians is ridicolous. You talk like all wikimedians in Alexandria will be round up by egyptian police and deported in the egyptian equivalent of Guantanamo. 

Now I quit this silly conversation and leave you alone with your fears. Take care! The world is a dangerous place to live.
