What are some travel and terrorism tips?

Traveling and Terrorists

  • Schedule direct flights if possible and avoid stops in high-risk airports or areas. Consider other options for travel, such as trains.
  • Be aware of what you discuss with strangers or what may be overheard by others.
  • Try to minimize the time spent in the public area of an airport, which is a less protected area. Move quickly from the check-in counter to the secured areas. On arrival, leave the airport as soon as possible.
  • As much as possible, avoid luggage tags, dress and behavior that may identify you as an American.
  • Keep an eye out for suspicious abandoned packages or briefcases. Report them to airport security or other authorities and leave the area promptly.
  • Avoid obvious terrorist targets such as places where Americans and Westerners are known to congregate.
