Personal & Journalist Security in Crowds – I have been in several situations with hostile crowds where things could have gone very bad, very quickly.
Meetings should always be treated with caution as they are an easy way to set someone up for kidnapping, assassination, sexual assault or robbery!
Personal security is a 24/7 job, to some it comes almost instinctively but others can find it very hard to develop.
These days if you travel internationally or you are going to be working in the emerging markets, you are running the risk of being arrested for some reason.
Think of kidnappers and you will have visions of masked criminals, not of police; false or extrajudicial arrest is kidnapping and happens regularly.
