Travel Security

 

You can reduce your chances of getting into a dangerous mishap by taking a few precautions before you leave, and while you’re away. This article covers the most basic — and most important — ways to stay safe when you travel.

Keep your head about you when you travel, just as you do at home. Here are some points to keep in mind:

• Do not discuss your travel plans with strangers.
• Do not leave your bags unattended, even for a moment.
• Do not carry bags for strangers. In fact, do not even carry bags for friends unless you know exactly what they contain.
• Do not carry all your money in one place.
• Do not look confused and lost. Be alert.
• Keep a low profile. Be quiet and inconspicuous.
