11 Safety Tips You MUST Know
Today I received an e-mail with a few REALLY good safety tips, and no author given credit. While the message was geared toward women, I think these are tips that men and women of all ages as well as children and teenagers should read and remember. Please share them with your friends and family.
1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, DO!
2. Learned this from a tourist guide. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you. Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you. Then RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION.

Terrorist Advisories
The U.S. Department of State’s American Citizens Services and Crisis Management (ACS) offers frequently-updated bulletins about outbreaks of disease and terrorist activity everywhere in the world. As a precaution, check their website or call them immediately prior to your trip. Call 1-888-407-4747, or go their website located at http://travel.state.gov/travel/travel_1744.html.
File Air Travel Complaints HERE
If you are having a problem with a refund, lost or damaged luggage, have been treated disrespectfully based on your disability, race, or religion (or any other reason), or have any type of air travel complaint, “who ya gonna call?!”
Well; first you call the airline. Give them at least one chance to make things right, and document all contact with the airline (who you talked to and when, and what was said). Make sure you are talking to a supervisor or someone with the authority to help you.
But if you feel you’ve been treated unfairly for any reason and the airline doesn’t respond favorably, then it’s time to contact the Aviation Consumer Protection Division of the Department of Transportation (DOT). You can also contact them about airline safety concerns or aviation security concerns. Consumer complaint forms are available online.
