Despite all the newest security measures and increased Police presence, Commercial airports still aren’t as safe for our VIPs as we would like them to be. However through proper training and working with key personnel you can reduce the threat and mitigate the impact.
Below are some significant real world examples that help illustrate my point. Simply by knowing about these potential threats, you can begin right now to take steps to protect your VIP’s and mitigate the impact.

We intentionally do not cover protective measures or mitigation steps in our threat awareness posts, as we like to keep them short and focus on the existence of the threat instead. However, we would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.
Use the comments below to tell us your protective measures or anything else you would like to say on the subject.
Please share this post with someone you think could benefit from knowing about this threat.
Threat Awareness is a regular blog post by SpecVIP Protection Group Inc. Awareness of threats is the first step towards protecting yourself and your VIP (How you define VIP is up to you) from the risk posed by these threats. Some of these posts might be obvious or obscure, they also maybe common or rare. Either way you must be aware of them before you can begin to protect against them.
