DON'T GO OUTSIDE

The DHS-FBI have released a list of 19 possible indicators of terrorist behaviors at hotels. How many are you guilty of? 

I’m guilty of the ones in bold.

• — Not providing professional or personal details on hotel registrations—such as place of employment, contact information, or place of residence.
• — Using payphones for outgoing calls or making front desk requests in person to avoid using the room telephone.
• — Interest in using Internet cafes, despite hotel Internet availability.
• — Non-VIPs who request that their presence at a hotel not be divulged.
• — Extending departure dates one day at a time for prolonged periods.
• — Refusal of housekeeping services for extended periods.
