Former Secret Service agent warns: You are the soft targets | Fox News Video
Follow the general "if you see something, say something".
Reminder of what you should do to be "situationally aware":
• Report suspicious activity to your local law enforcement agency.
• If you think there's an imminent threat use 911, otherwise call law enforcement on their local lines.
• Threats to the President or Vice President should go to the Secret Service first if there's time.
• Describe, to the best of your ability, specifically what you heard or observed, including:
- Who or what you saw;
- When you saw it;
- Where it occurred; and
- Why you believe it's suspicious.
It is better to report and be wrong than to not report and have a potentially serious incident occur. Let Law Enforcement (LE) be the deciding factor.
Make sure you ALWAYS look for a second exit when entering a building. This is not just in case of terrorism, robbery, etc., but in case there's a fire.
