Step 1
Stay vigilant. Remain aware of your surroundings at all times. Pay attention to the people around you, identify any suspicious behavior and know how to contact the local authorities in case of emergency.
-
Step 2
Report any unauthorized person you witness loitering near, entering or exiting a restricted area or special security zone. In such a situation, it is important to act promptly. If you have any doubts at all, let security personnel know. It is better to be over-cautious than under-prepared.

Step 3
Watch for individuals taking video, photographs or making diagrammatic drawings of obscure or restricted areas of the airport. They may be gathering intelligence that will later be used in a terrorist attack.
-
Step 4
Keep your eyes open for any suspicious-looking individuals who are lurking around heavily populated areas of the airport for no apparent purpose. If such an individual is wearing loose-fitting or long clothing, or has unconventional bags or luggage with them, consider the situation to be especially dangerous.
-
Step 5
Be aware of the concept of a "dry run." A "dry run" is a run-through of an actual attack, conducted by a terrorist group prior to implementation. If you notice suspicious individuals monitoring radio signals or creating disturbances while another member records the emergency response time, you may have witnessed a dry run. Gather accurate descriptions of all individuals involved and call the police at once.

Step 6
Watch for unattended baggage, parcels or other containers, no matter how small or innocuous-seeming they may appear. If you come across such an item, remain calm. Tell others in the area to vacate the area immediately and promptly call the police.
