Personal Security Guidelines for the American Business Traveler Overseas (Revised November 1994).

摘要

The Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) was established by the U.S. Department of State in 1985 to foster the exchange of information between American companies with overseas operations and the U.S. Government. Since that time, OSAC has developed into an enormously successful joint venture and a dynamic vehicle for effective security cooperation. As a part of these continuing efforts, OSAC has produced a series of publications designed to assist the U.S. private sector in meeting security challenges overseas. This booklet was developed to inform and make the American business traveler aware of the potentially hostile overseas environment in which they may be traveling or working. The information contained in this booklet will familiarize the traveler with personal security guidelines for traveling overseas. The potential hazards and vulnerabilities that are inherent in protecting/carrying sensitive or proprietary information while traveling are described, as are surveillance and/or targeting recognition, personal conduct abroad, hostage/hijacking survival and fire safety. There are several scenarios to traveling abroad that are addressed: first, the actual getting from point A to B; second, the airport; third, the hotel or temporary quarters; fourth, traveling within a foreign country; and, lastly, the office or work place. Each of these five situations presents different potential security problems.
