Transportation

Choose a window seat near the exit row. In the event there is an emergency you will have an escape route close. If you can’t get an exit row seat, choose a seat near the rear of the plane. Why? In the event of a hijacking, the terrorists will focus their attention to the front of the plane since that’s where they need to get to take over the plane. With there attention focused to the front of the plane, this may give you time to get to your cell phone and possibly inform the authorities.

Once your travel itinerary has been confirmed, notify your supervisor at work and a family member of your travel plans and provide them with a copy of the itinerary.

If you are travelling to elevated risks areas, register with your embassy’s Regional Security Office (RSO) and on-line with your government’s travel safety website

As soon as you arrive at the airport, be sure to keep a close watch on your luggage and passport. Thieves often target travelers to steal their belongings while they are checking in, go thru airport screening, shopping, eating or drinking in bars and restaurants, snoozing or visiting the restroom.

Go through airport security screening as soon as possible. This area is better controlled for access and weapons. For smokers, avoid the temptation to go outside for one last smoke. The airport entrance, parking lots and ticket counters are most vulnerable to attack, surveillance and criminal activity. Most criminal activity take place in these areas.

Do not engage in conversations or other activity with strangers. Keep a close eye on your belongings to prevent theft, or contraband being placed in your bags.

• Keep your cell phone on your person. Don’t place it in your carry on luggage in the overhead compartment. You will need easy access to the phone in the event there are problem on the plane to inform airline officials.

• Do not put your passport with your belongings in the overhead compartment. While you are sleeping or in the restroom, someone could easily steal the passport.

• The same applies to your money. Keep it on your person.

Once you are on the Plane

Page 9: Corporate Travel Security Services   Part Three

• Watch and listen to the flight attendant's safety briefing before the flight. If you are a frequent flier I understand that you have probably heard the speech a million times; however, the instructions they provide may save your life.

• Notice who is seated around you. Remember, the passengers who prevented a potential terrorist attack by the “Shoe Bomber” were responsible for recognizing his odd behavior and wrestled him to the ground before he could blow up the plane.

• If you do observe strange behavior from another passenger, be sure to notify a flight attendant immediately. Remember that airline travel security is everyone's business. Not sure what to do? Notify an attendant regardless. As the saying goes, better safe than sorry.

Page 10: Corporate Travel Security Services   Part Three

There are U.S. federal law enforcement officers covertly placed on flights to prevent terrorist attacks and provide air travel security. They are responsible for neutralizing anyone who attempts a terrorist attack on the plane. These agents are very good at keeping a low profile; however, in the event that you recognize one, keep the information to yourself. Don’t mention your discovery to anyone.

When filling out immigration forms be sure not to include too much personal information about yourself. For example, in the occupation section instead of listing "CEO of XYZ Company", simply list "Businessman". Boasting about your high level position can make you a potential target for kidnappers tipped off by corrupt immigration officials.

When traveling to Taiwan (Republic of China) or Israel, ask the Immigration Officer to stamp your passport on an unattached insert page. This is to prevent issues if future travel may include the People Republic of China or some middle eastern countries

Whenever possible use hotel cars.

Only use official licensed & metered cabs

Sit behind the driver

Lock the doors

Wear the seatbelt (More travelers are killed or seriously injured in traffic accidents than anything else)

Keep windows up in traffic

Write down the driver’s license info & cab #

Insist that the meter is used

Be on alert for unscheduled stops by driver (needs cigarettes, gas, etc.)

Be aware of your surroundings

Page 13: Corporate Travel Security Services   Part Three
Page 14: Corporate Travel Security Services   Part Three

Avoid if possible – Usually Infested with pickpockets and are a favorite target of terrorists.

Keep wallet in front pocket or use a money belt

Don’t let your bags, briefcase, purse, etc. out of your site – not even for a second

Be suspicious of distractions – loud noises, fights, someone bumping into you, someone asking you for information, etc.

Keep an eye out for suspicious activity or nervous acting people.

Page 15: Corporate Travel Security Services   Part Three
Page 16: Corporate Travel Security Services   Part Three

Frequently overcrowded. May never have had a safety inspection and likely doesn’t carry out preventive maintenance or emergency drills with crew.

Do not leave your belongings unattended

Watch out for pick pockets & bag slashers

Know where the life vest (PFD), life boats, rally points and exits are located. There may not be any signage or there may be signage but no devices.

Don’t get caught in the rush to exit or board.

• Make certain that the hotel has back up generators. It is very common in many countries to have daily power outages. No power - no elevators, lights or air conditioning. Most hotel room windows won’t open and the rooms can get very stifling without air circulation. A 5-Star Rating does not guarantee that they will have generators.

• Make sure that your hotel room has a safe. You will need a safe place to store your passport so that it is not stolen during a robbery while you are out in town. Also, use the safe to store money, ATM cards, credit cards, jewelry (and laptop if it will fit). Never leave these items out when you leave the room, even if you are not expecting maid service. Many times hotel crime involves hotel employees.

Page 19: Corporate Travel Security Services   Part Three

You will want to request a room located between the 3rd and 5th floors. Why? Because the room is high enough to make it difficult for burglars to climb and enter from outside and close enough to the ground that you can escape during a fire or natural disaster. Also, be sure not to get a room so close to other hotel roofs that criminals can climb over and into your room.

Make sure to familiarize yourself with escape routes throughout the hotel. If there is a fire or natural disaster, you will already know the alternatives for exiting the hotel and getting to safety. First, make certain you won’t get yourself locked in, check the fire exit to make certain it isn’t blocked. It also helps to know where it opens to the street and whether that door is locked to prevent people from getting into the stairwell from the street.

Page 20: Corporate Travel Security Services   Part Three

Make sure there is a substantial lock on your hotel room door. This means preferably a deadbolt or at a minimum two key locks. Chain locks are usually not enough to deter burglars. Make sure the doors are locked, even when you are inside the room.

Bring with you a travel door wedge that you can slide under the door to prevent it from being forced open.

The door should be constructed of a sturdy material and have a peephole. This way you can see anyone coming to your door.

Place the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the outside of your room door, even when you are out of the room. This helps keep out maids and may make potential burglars think you are inside. Never place the "Please Clean Room" sign on the outside of the door because it tells criminals that you are not there.

Page 21: Corporate Travel Security Services   Part Three

Do not allow strangers into your hotel room. This sounds pretty simple. However, you would be amazed at the number of business travelers who meet strange people in bars and invite them back to the hotel room. Unfortunately, many wake up the next morning after being drugged and discover that all of their belongings are missing from the room.

If a pretty girl shows up at your hotel door saying she is compliments of the hotel or your hosts – don’t believe it.

Some countries have been known to spy on their guests. Be very careful what you say or do in your room – you may be recorded. China is known to have special hotel floors or rooms set aside for foreign guest only. Blackmail can be very lucrative.

Leave the television and lights on in the room when you are away because it may fool criminals into believing that someone is inside the room.

Page 22: Corporate Travel Security Services   Part Three
Page 23: Corporate Travel Security Services   Part Three

While dining in restaurants, never hang your purse on the back of your chair. Criminals will walk by and steal your purse or the contents inside.

While walking get your purse tuck it under your arm, not using the strap. This way if a criminal runs by and snatches your purse, you won’t be pulled to the ground during the incident.

Don’t accept drinks from people you don’t know. Many times the drinks are laced with drugs like Scopolamine (common in Columbia) or Rufinol (also known as “Rufies” or “Date Rape Drug”).

Cat calls or sexual harassment on the street by foreign men is very common in many countries. The best advise I have is to ignore it, walk with confidence, and continue on your way.

Page 24: Corporate Travel Security Services   Part Three

Walking to your vehicle - carry your keys in your hand with the points of the keys between your fingers. You can use the keys as a weapon.

While driving , make sure to put your purse or computer bag on the floorboard under your seat or behind the passenger seat on the floor (concealed if possible). Avoid leaving your purse or bag in the passenger seat beside you.

If you are going to use a taxi, sit in the back seat behind the driver. Many taxi drivers will ask women to sit in the front seat in an attempt to make unwanted passes at them.

Dress appropriate for the occasion & culture. In some Islamic countries, you can be arrested or beaten for what they would

consider inappropriate dress or inappropriate behavior. Even many European and Asian countries are a lot more prudish than you would think.

Disclaimer – The world is a volatile place. Many of the countries listed here have gone through considerable changes in the past couple of years (Hong Kong, for example, is now run by China, and the European Union (EU) has standardized much of Europe.) In addition, some countries are in the process of changing their systems to one number for all emergency services. This list is accurate to the best of the author's knowledge, but changes may have been made since this list was compiled. Many of the EU countries are retaining, at least for now, their old emergency numbers even as they standardize on the new 112, and are listed here if still in operation.

Cell Phones - '112' can be dialed anywhere in the world with GSM coverage and callers will be automatically transferred to that country's particular emergency number. A caller is able to connect to the emergency services answering point if GSM mobile coverage is available from any carrier's network at the location of the call. For further details regarding '112', consumers should talk to their mobile service providers

Every effort has been made to confirm the accuracy of these numbers, but mistakes do happen. Please try to confirm your information before travelling, and let us know if you find any inaccuracies.
