Crime Prevention : Safety Tips

At the Airport

• Stay especially alert and watch your bags and laptop at all times. Do not let anyone but uniformed airline personnel handle or watch your bags.
   
• Watch out for staged mishaps, like someone bumping into you or spilling a drink, as it is often a ploy to divert your attention and steal your bag or passport.
   
• Carry your purse close to your body, or your wallet in an inside front pocket. Better yet, wear a money pouch under your clothes.
   
• Keep a separate record of the content of checked luggage. And keep anything of value in a bag that stays with you at all times.
   
• Avoid displaying expensive cameras, jewellery and luggage that might draw attention. Your aim should be to blend in with the crowd.
