Avoiding Terrorism
* Know the most DANGEROUS LOCATIONS for terrorism-- airports, train stations and places where there are large crowds.
* Keep in mind that fixed targets are the most likely to be hit--MONUMENTS, KEY BUILDINGS or important MILITARY INSTALLATIONS.
* If you must be in a CROWDED AREA, be alert to anything that looks out of place, like an unattended package. Report anything SUSPICIOUS to authorities.
* Flying is relatively safe, especially on DOMESTIC FLIGHTS. In the remote chance that you’re hijacked, a window seat may offer a little more protection from the hijackers.
