      EVERYDAY PROTECTION FOR EVERYDAY PEOPLE 2

      By Erik Lawrence

      This handbook is a combination of military standard operating procedures and personal experience gained while serving in the U.S. Army Special Forces and other assignments throughout the world to allow individuals to conduct various activities safely.

      PART I

      TERRORISM OVERVIEW

      Associated Press—LOS ANGELES, CA July 4, 2002—A gunman opened fire Thursday at Israel’s El Al airlines ticket counter at Los Angeles International Airport. Three people were killed, including the attacker, who was shot dead by an airline security guard, authorities said.

      Seven people were injured, including an El Al security guard, and thousands were evacuated from the international terminal, authorities said. One person was arrested, police said.

      DEFINITION

      TERRORIZE

      1.To fill or overwhelm with fear; terrify.

      2.To coerce by intimidation or fear.

      TERRORISM

      This violent phenomenon has been with us for many years, but we have recently seen changes in the tactics of terrorists with the use of weapons of mass destruction in Tokyo and the employment of horrible bombs and attacks in New York City, the Pentagon, Oklahoma City, and Saudi Arabia.

      Americans are the symbols of power and prestige in the eyes of the world and are especially vulnerable to terrorist attack. Generally, we are highly visible, and sometimes America is deeply despised by militants and extremists the world over.

      This handbook is written to foster your awareness of the terrorist threat, provide techniques for you to protect yourself and your family actively, and ensure the process of changing our mindset from complacency to constant vigilance. It is intended to serve as a guide, and you should incorporate these measures, which apply to you and your family.

      Through constant awareness and good security habits, you can ensure that you and members of your family will not become the targets of an avoidable terrorist attack.

      BE PREPARED,

      NOT PARANOID!

      TIPS TO COMBAT TERRORISM

      KEEP A LOW PROFILE

      Your dress, conduct, and mannerisms should not attract attention. Make an effort to blend into the local environment. 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 alone. Don’t exercise at the same time and place each day, or 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 VERY ALERT

      Watch for anything suspicious or out of place. Don’t give personal information over the telephone. If you think you are being followed, go to a pre-selected secure area. Immediately report the incident to your security specialist or law enforcement agencies. In overseas areas without U.S. agencies, know where the U.S. Embassy and/or western embassies are and go there. Once there, report the incident to the Security Officer at the U.S. Embassy.

      PART II

      GENERAL SECURITY CHECKLIST

      •Instruct your family and associates not to provide strangers with information about you or your family.

      •Trust your instincts; if the situation doesn’t seem right, get out of the situation if possible.

      •Stay alert to your surroundings; walk with confidence and purpose, try not to travel alone, especially at night or in areas that are unfamiliar to you.

      •Do not give unnecessary personal details to information collectors, and restrict personal data when using the Internet. Shred all documents with personal data.

      •Be alert to strangers who are on your property for no apparent reason. Report all suspicious persons loitering near your residence or office; attempt to provide a complete description of the person and/or vehicle to police or security.
