Personal pointers
- Rear hotel rooms are less likely to sustain bomb damage.
- Label luggage on the inside so only you know where you're going.
- Dress down to keep a low profile. Disguise computers in nondescript rucksacks.
- Do not give away personal details to fellow passengers - it can put you at risk of theft or worse. If someone asks what you do, say you work in insurance - if they persist, try to sell them a policy.
- Make sure someone at home or in the office knows your itinerary.
- Avoid using your credit card in restaurants - untrustworthy staff might copy your card.
- Take out insurance and medical cover.
