They even strongly urged in one of their files that Americans should not travel to such strict countries, such as North Korea [8]. Officials in North Korea are seen as gods and any sort of disrespect towards them leads to long term detainment if done so within the country as they will only show you what you want to see. The government even unleashed that North Korea might be using tourism money towards their nuclear weapons program [10, 8 ]. With that being said since the North Korean government is very paranoid of war, we would all most likely die due to the nuclear bombing. A nuclear war is quite possibly biggest fear for most U.S. citizens, however; there is very little options the United States officials can do if North Korea poses as even more of a threat. More people are becoming interested in traveling to such dangerous places and then acting out in a way the government there does not like. The United States government is unable to protect us in those circumstances.
