The threat of terrorism will keep the Fort Myers High School band from marching in London's 2007 New Year's Day Parade, despite an invitation from that city and band boosters agreeing to foot the $273,000 bill.
"We're leery of loading 140 students onto an airplane and flying across the ocean to London, where they just had a terrorist attack," said Herb Wiseman, who oversees secondary operations for Lee County schools. "We don't think at this time that it's worth the risk."
In July 2005, bombs set by terrorists inside city buses and London's subway system killed 52 people. The city has been on alert since then.
The New Year's Day parade in London is billed as the "greatest annual street parade in Europe" and is a giant fundraiser for local charities.
Sadly It is a common misbelief amongst some Americans that it is safer within US borders than outside them. After all, if you're not American, youre a terrorismist person right?
