Why would anyone want to journey into New York City with the insurgency in full swing? There are so many elements of danger, neither of which are getting enough coverage in the press, that should earn it a spot on the list of the worst destinations in the U.S.

Egyptian authorities detained a passenger arriving at Cairo airport from New York on Wednesday after finding guns, bullets and knives in his baggage, an airport official told AFP.
Mohamed Ibrahim Marei, a US university professor of Egyptian origin, had flown in on an Egyptair flight from New York's JFK airport.
Customs officials noticed the passenger looked nervous and decided to open his luggage.
They found two handguns and 250 bullets hidden in metal boxes, the official said on condition of anonymity.
In a secret compartment in the bag, authorities also found two swords, five daggers and six knives, he added.
An investigation has been launched, the official said.
