If individuals look like a local and avoid flashy clothing and cars, surveillants will have to stay much closer to avoid losing them in the crowd or traffic. The closer they are, the easier they are to detect. If their potential target is a slave to a routine, the terrorist's job will be much easier to carry out. People should reduce the number of places they frequent, vary their travel routes between home and the office, and vary their departure times. They should look around and report any unusual events or people immediately.
Terrorists follow the same pattern as other criminals.
For more helpful information, people should contact their local security forces squadron or local Air Force Office of Special Investigations detachment.
