Abstract

This article presents an experiential exercise on how a businessperson, engaged in foreign travel, can decrease the risk of becoming an easy victim of terrorism or crime. This exercise provides an introduction to those unfamiliar with international travel security issues to identify the vulnerabilities that could be exploited by terrorists and, then, to develop a plan to diminish such threats. A quiz and expert answers are included as part of the exercise to bolster participants' depth of analysis and their understanding of how to avoid becoming a victim of a terrorist act.
