The state dept & others just show relevant things that happened that
give you an awareness.

I have no problem with this as such. The problem, as ably pointed out by
Miguel, is that it is out of context. I am going into LA tomorrow night for an
MRI and I am considerably more concerned about coming back alive than I would
be about being hit up for $20 by an otherwise nonchalant rebel group. Its this
context that you get where there are dozens of travellers replying, many of
them on site. I suppose I look at it with an Indian attitude. How many people
are killed and injured every day in LA? Somebody on drugs just chopped up 2
people at random (and I do mean chopped). My score on terrorism in South Asia
is one person hurt in Sri Lanka and some people inconvenienced in Nepal and a
fair amount of crime. BFD (but not meant personally)

Yes. The context is important.
When is the last time an armed gang in LA started attacking police
stations and killing everyone inside? How many teachers were killed and
how many schools did they shut down and in LA last year? How many buses
were burned in LA in the past year?

South Asia also includes Kashmir, Pakistan. Hardly the top tourist
destinations these days. Look up the tourists who went missing in India
recently, maybe that didn't make the nightly news but you can compare
those numbers with LA.

Now for a real scary place, try Detroit
