Air Travelers’ Personal Security
Air travellers today can spend hours at the airport, wandering around aimlessly often carrying their bags and chattels around with them from gate to gate, shuffling bags while in the bathroom, buying and eating food, and just sitting around and waiting.
It seams that the more time travellers have to spend at airports, the more travellers’ worry about there personal security is an issue. The following are some tips to help minimize the risk of you losing your valuable belongings while travelling.
Travelers’ Personal Security – Packing
Security begins at home. When you pack your belongings, place your most valuable items in the carry-on bag that is closest to your body. That way you will always be aware of anyone trying to steal them.
For individuals traveling with jewelry, this means wearing your most valuable jewelry in flight. Large diamond ear studs are fine to wear with everyday travel clothing; other travelers will assume they are fake cubic zirconium earrings, or rhinestones. Large necklaces and bracelets can be worn under a turtleneck sweater or other clothing that masks the neck. Make sure your clasps and hooks are in good repair so you do not accidentally lose your jewelry while walking through the terminal.
What you cannot wear should be packed in a handbag or fanny pack. Beware of backpacks – would-be thieves can open a bulging backpack and remove valuable items without the traveler ever knowing their personal security was breached.
Travelers’ Personal Security – Cash
Every traveler needs some cash at the airport for tips, newspapers, meals, and sundries. However, no traveler should carry more cash than absolutely necessary. Usually about $20 to $30 in fives, tens, and ones will meet the traveler’s need for cash at the airport. Every modern airport has an ATM. If you need cash at your destination, use the airport ATM after you arrive at your final stop. Carrying, and flashing, large amounts of cash create an irresistible temptation for thieves.
Travelers’ Personal Security – Shopping
The key to safety when travelling ! is to if possible travel with a companion, this will allow you to have someone who can watch your belongings for you while you shop, eat, and use the restroom. If you are travelling alone, it is good advice to try to rent a locker to store your belongings in if you have a long wait for your flight. Even if you need to rent two or more lockers to stow all your belongings, you will find that it is easier to carry a small key around instead of lugging bags filled with your valuable belongings around the airport while waiting for your flight.
Travelers’ Personal Security – Security Check
One of the places most travelers commonly lose things is, ironically, when they go through security. As you pass through security lies, be cognizant of how many bins or trays you have left your belongings in, and be sure you have checked that same number of bins or trays before you leave the security area.
