10 Simple Things To Make Yourself A HARD TARGET

by William B. Doyle

Recent events have shocked the world and left us
feeling exposed and vulnerable. However, we can
implement some simple techniques in our daily
lives to make ourselves a "Hard Target" for
terrorists (and criminals).

Terrorists = Criminals.

These easy steps will frustrate terrorists/criminals
and make them seek other prey:

*** Keep a Low Profile ***

- Your dress, conduct and mannerisms should not attract
attention.

- Make an effort to blend into the local environment.
This is especially true when traveling.

- Avoid publicity and don't go out in large groups.

- Stay away from civil disturbances and demonstrations.

*** Be Unpredictable ***

- Vary your route to and from work and the time you leave
and return home.

- Vary the way you dress.

- Don't exercise at the same time and place every day,
never alone, on deserted streets, or country roads.

- Let people close to you know where you are going,
what you'll be doing, and when you should be back.

*** Be Alert ***

- Watch for anything/anyone suspicious or out of place.
This includes vehicles, delivery vans, etc. parked in
your

neighborhood.

- Don't give personal information over the telephone,
via email, chat rooms, on your website, etc. Don't just
throw away periodicals, billing statements, etc. that
contain your name, address, account numbers, etc. -
shred/destroy the address label or page where such
information appears.

- If you think you are being followed, go to a pre-
selected secure area (local police station, well lighted
public place, etc.).

- Immediately report the incident to the local law
enforcement agencies, or your local Embassy (if overseas).
Try to note the make/model, color, license plate, driver &
passengers, of the suspect vehicle (if you have a cell phone,
you can be giving authorities a description while you are
enroute to your pre-selected secure area).

This may be a smack of paranoia but those of us that have
experience in law enforcement, physical security, anti-
terrorism, etc. know that terrorists & criminals often seek
out easier "soft targets" rather than the difficult "hard
targets".

By implementing the above techniques and the 130+ other
methods in my E-book "How To Make Yourself A HARD TARGET
For Terrorists", you will significantly

enhance you, your
loved ones' and friends' safety.
