Travel Security
Overview
Travel Security means remembering the town officials in the “Jaws” movie who hushed up the shark attacks. The tourism industry is notorious for hushing up news of their shadow industry: the predators who prey on tourists. Keep the ominous “Jaws” music in mind as you plan your trip. Always remember: tourists draw predators like blood draws sharks.
Before You Leave Home
Don’t broadcast your plans. Store clerks, hairdressers, the kid who mows your lawn, security guards, and neighbors have been caught aiding criminals with information. Also beware of any public announcement of your plans. Don’t cancel regular deliveries. You want your house operating normally: lawn cut, snow shoveled, drapes opened and closed daily, and so on. Get someone to maintain your home every day. Notify the police of your plans and how to reach your contact person in an emergency. Make two photocopies of your passport identification page, airline tickets, driver’s license, credit cards (and contact info), serial numbers of traveler’s checks, medical prescriptions, and your schedule. Leave one photocopy with your friends at home; pack the other in a place separate from where you carry the originals. If, during your trip, you make any changes in your travel plans, notify your friends back home. Also put a piece of paper with your name and itinerary inside each bag to make identification easier if your baggage ID tag is lost.
