The vest doesn’t grant immunity from war zones or conflict. It looks really bad on the world stage to attack or apprehend journalist. Also, the belligerents wouldn’t want to involve or upset the country the journalist is a citizen of.

It’s still very dangerous either way because there are factions out there that don’t want to be reported on or just don’t care about diplomatic fallout.
