Travel Securely - Keep Your Activities Secret

Need to travel securely or conduct activities un-noticed?

Worried you may be the subject of surveillance or shadowing?

If so follow these simple counter surveillance tips and learn how to keep your travles and activities secret.





Travel Securely - Become Unpredictable

Counter surveillance techniques are highly important when you are traveling to a sensitive location for sensitive business or to conduct surveillance yourself.

  • You must always research and study the location intently before making your trip. You need to know the layout, activity level, and suitable traveling routes or meeting places. It is very important to be familiar with your surroundings.

  • Always take a different route going there and coming back, and if possible never the same bus or station.

  • Use public transport. Avoid the use of your own car - easily traceable.

  • If using public transport, roaming tickets are ideal for any journey - you have flexibility over your route and your ticket is hard to pin to any one location.

  • If you can build in other tasks as part of your journey, that will help provide an alternate motive for traveling to that area of a town or city.

  • Break the regular patterns in your life. This masks regular activity, so making it harder to practice routine surveillance. But it also masks the times when you may undertake activities out of the ordinary.

  • But you must conduct any sensitive activities with your day to day activities - but do not become predictable.

  • Make it difficult to track and predict your movements, simply change the route you take to work or to shop regularly.

  • Integrate irregular tasks into your everyday activities to create unpredictability in the pattern of your activities. If you do this it will help disguise any sensitive plans you wish to slip in as needed.



    Hidden Cameras

    Becoming more and more of a problem with over 74 million spent on spy cameras last year alone.

    Hidden cameras have been found everywhere from supermarket toilets to holiday apartments. Fortunately there are cool new counter surveillance techniques and equipment becoming available all the time.

    until now, only the FBI and other high profile government agencies had access to this equipment.



    Travel Securely - Keep Your Activities Secret

    Avoiding CCTV/Hidden Cameras

    To avoid the CCTV systems in public places move with the crowd; don't rush, don't cut corners, and don't look around for CCTV cameras.

    Facial recognition systems work on the configuration of facial features. but to work competently they need a good view of the face. The best counter surveillance technique is to look at a slight angle towards the ground and, maybe, wear a hat.

    If you need to travel securely in a town, you must avoid moving through the major areas, or 'controlled environments' such as shopping centers. These have the highest level of CCTV coverage.

    Always assume that public transport vehicles have CCTV installed - traveling during peak hours will help mask your presence.

    To make following you in person or via CCTV more difficult do not wear distinctive clothes or carry distinctive objects - blend in.

    An other effective cover to travel securely is of course "darkness" which aids anonymity, but is not a fool proof solution to the latest CCTV cameras which can see in the dark.



    Make Secure Payments

    When the need arises to travel securely, don't pay by credit/debit card or take money from a cash machine.

    Use Cash If you need to spend cash when traveling to/working around a sensitive location, do not spend the notes taken directly from a cash machine within that location (their sequential numbers may be logged).

    The most helpful technique here is to keep a supply of notes from different locations and use those accordingly. If you need to buy something when traveling around a sensitive location, do not give any loyalty cards or personalized money-off tokens as part of your purchases - they are traceable.
