personal protection measures against the terorist threat
be alert
If you have reason to believe a letter or parcel is suspicious:
The following list has been compiled from suggestions made by counterterrorism experts for use in security education to combat terrorism. Any of the following events might mean danger and should be a reason for an immediate report or for seeking advice from security or law enforcement officials:
- Anonymous tips, phone calls, or notes of a threatening nature, which may identify groups or carry extremist messages.
- Surveillance by suspicious persons of federal offices or federal employees performing official duties.
- Unattended and unoccupied vehicles parked in unauthorized or inappropriate locations, particularly those in close proximity to buildings or other structures.
- Requests for plans, blueprints, or engineering specification for federal buildings or commercially-owned buildings that house government offices, by those who have no official reason to have them.
- Unauthorized access even to unsecured areas by unknown or unidentified persons who have no apparent reason for being there.
- Confrontation with angry, aggressively belligerent, or threatening persons by federal officials in the performance of their official duties.
living with the threat
We live with many dangers in our daily lives, ranging from everyday household accidents to natural disasters. We do so without relentless fear. Terrorism is a fact of contemporary life, but we do not have to live in constant fear of terrorism anymore than other dangers. It is important to be aware of the threat and take steps to protect ourselves, but it is also important to keep the threat in perspective.
Terrorists PREY on Complacency and Inattention. Security Awareness is the Key!
