Ticket counter and waiting lines are a very high profile potential
    target areas.
    Prior to your security check where you will go through the metal detector, you
    will most likely be waiting in long lines of people to get your luggage checked
    in and your ticket printed out.


    Look around next time you are standing in line and see all those potential targets.
    In the past ticket agents from countries that are having civil strife have been attacked by
    terrorists. Countries such as Spain, U.S, Italy, Austria all have seen their share of airport
    related terror attacks. What they all had in common is that the terror attacks all took place
    in this vulnerable area,in this case the ticket area. In some of these terror related attacks,
    both the ticket agents as well as customers have been killed.








    Typical crimes to look out for:

  • Pick pockets
  • Shoulder surfing
  • "Port rage" due to long waiting

    Terror attacks:

  • Package bombs
  • Suicide bombers
  • Weapon attacks
