Holidays
It’s the season for holidays, pickpockets, thefts, and other mischief. So I’m going to start a series of posts about how to protect yourself during this season of making merry. I hope you all find them useful.
Pickpockets 1
Pickpockets don’t just come out after dark, nor do they hang around only tourist spots and transportation hubs. They strike at all hours, in all venues, especially where money changes hands. So be on alert at banks, currency exchange booths, … Continue reading
Pickpockets 2
Pickpockets often create distractions to catch shoppers and tourists unaware. Sadly, as cute as groups of children may be, they aren’t always so angelic. While you are fawning over them, one may be slipping her tiny fingers into your pocket. … Continue reading

I just came from a 2 day conference sponsored by the ABA Law Practice Management in Washington D.C. While I was there I noticed that they had some books for sale and I went over to take a look. I … Continue reading
Rant (Sort of) Beware Security Experts Selling “Stuff”
I just heard of an interesting approach to business and personal security. A big (actually Very Big) law firm around here brought in a security expert to advise its lawyers and the staff working there about personal security. From what … Continue reading
Women travelers
I was talking with a woman friend recently who travels a lot as part of her job. She gave me this tip, which I should have thought of: if you are a woman traveling alone with a group of men … Continue reading
