The boas were high on the risk list for being able to establish themselves, not for posing any threat to humans. The paper wasn't interested in the threats to humans so much as the impact on the local ecosystems of new apex predators, and the possible transmission of harmful non-native parasites and bacteria from released specimen.

The citation is

Reed, Robert N. "An Ecological Risk Assessment of Nonnative Boas and Pythons as Potentially Invasive Species in the United States." Risk Analysis, Vol. 25, No. 3, 2005. 753-766.
