The Best Security Measure On The Planet

Comments Disabled

There are thousands of security products available. Night vision cameras, trip wires, automated security lights, security glass, alarms, there is no end to the physical tools you can use for security.

However there is another simple security measure that you can’t buy. It’s not physical either, but mental. This is the ability to simply use your human awareness.

Companies  can spend exorbitant amounts of money on security. But simply being aware and tuning your innate human senses can be one of the best security defences on the planet.

Often times security tools are bought with the intention of giving the owner ‘peace of mind’. While it can be a good thing, to allow tools to handle jobs for us, it can also make us mentally lazy.

Buying security tools can make us humans put things into the backs of our minds. If by chance something does actually happen and a security system works, it can shock people as they don’t expect it. Evidence that the security tool is taking the place of normal brain power.

Secure and Safe Travelling

It is a problem faced by many holidaymakers – how do you make sure your suitcase will arrive at your destination intact and secure?

Firstly, make sure you pack your belongings in a sturdy, hard-sided suitcase, preferably with a metal lock of some kind. A soft sided suitcase with a zip may be a target for thieves. Even if the zip is padlocked, a thief can open the zip with a sharp, pointed implement or may use a knife to rip the material of the case.

Pack valuables – money, passports, credit cards, electronics and mobile phones, etc – in your carry-on luggage and make sure you keep it with you at all times.

Once at the airport, be vigilant of your luggage at all times until you have handed it over to baggage check-in. Your carry-on bag will have to go through a security check and you may have to empty out some of the contents onto plastic trays and place these on a conveyor belt. Make sure you keep everything in sight (as far as possible) and that the only person who handles your belongings is a member of airport security.

Finally, get to the baggage claim area before your bags are unloaded from the plane so that you can claim your luggage as soon as it is placed on the belts.

people worry about their security at all points in the day, and for good reason, the typical individual will encounter multiple security risks everyday. There are also lots of solutions to these problems, so it is worth doing some investigation into what is most effective for you.

Women typically have different security concerns than men, and therefore require some different tools to maintain their personal security. Having things like pepper-spray, or perhaps a foghorn will fight off many attackers successfully.

Things which everybody may find useful are protections against identity theft. This is a growing concern for many, as more and more horror stories of people’s lives being turned upside down by somebody getting their bank account details and racking up debt, or stealing their credit card and paying for loads of stuff. Laws have been put into place which offer some protection, and recourse for regaining any lost funds, but it is still a very unpleasant situation. You need to make sure that you use strong passwords for all password protected accounts, such as your Facebook account, or even your phone, so that nobody has a chance of just guessing your password.
