You're ready for your vacation. You've made your reservations, read the guidebook, and even cajoled someone to feed the cat while you're gone. But have you checked everything? What about terrorism near your vacation spot? This site maps "terrorism and other suspicious events," so you can get a quick view of just what's going on in the world. Besides the map, you can search events by type, country, city, and date. There's even a scroll of breaking news and newly added happenings. From airport incidents to biological threats, explosives, shootings, and even terrorism arrests—it's possible to be a well-informed traveler. And it doesn't just cover problems abroad. The list is global, and that includes your home town.

Fear-mongering at its best.

It is very difficult to get to the comments page. The Map is not user friendly.

However, once someone learns how to use this feature, it is a great new addition to Yahoo. Please keep it active.
