Air Travel Security

Do not use rank or detailed office addresses on tickets, travel documents, hotel reservations, or luggage.

Select a window seat on aircraft because they offer more protection and are less accessible to hijackers than are aisle seats.

Select a seat in the midsection of the aircraft because it is not one of the two usual areas of terrorist activity.

Do not discuss your Government affiliation with any other passengers. Limit conversation to non-essential matters.

Do not carry highly confidential material unless it is an essential mission.

Adjust your arrival at the airport to minimize waiting time, be alert for any suspicious activity in the waiting area, and proceed immediately to the departure gate.

Where possible, undertake medium and long-distance travel by air.
