Is it safe to travel to Europe right now?

Given the Manchester attack, as well as the events over the past couple of years, would you consider Europe a safe place to travel? Statistically, it is well known that many things are much more likely to kill you than a terrorist attack: being struck by lightning, a bee sting, the police in the U.S., etc. Of course, that fact doesn't seem to deter some folks who are delaying trips to Europe. On the other hand, some travelers point to the randomness and unpredictability as reason not to fear going abroad - the attacks are just as likely to happen anywhere in the U.S. (goes their argument).

Would you plan a trip to Europe given the current security landscape? Why or why not?

Let's turn this question around: would you advise a European citizen not to come to the USA when there has been another mass shooting in the USA? Probably not.

Like @afe9 said, it's such a small chance that it shouldn't really influence your decision.
