That's quite an attitude toward international travel, something practiced by millions of people for business and pleasure every day.

Always read the small print. Every now and again someone forgets that other countries can be quite different. Drugs policies are the usual one e.g. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/travelnews/7801410/Dubai-...

.. but it's also possible to become an accidental tourist in someone else's civil war. Or, in the case of this guy, forget that committing crimes internationally can make you wanted in the US.

Who hopefully keep in mind the consequences. You (hopefully) wouldnt travel to Somalia, the fact that other countries arent in headlines doesnt mean they are a safe destination.

Few of them run major criminal operations. Hence the presumption of safety when traveling to "safe and civilized" countries.
