BOLO.............

Multiple sightings of the same suspicious person, vehicle or activity at the same location;

Individuals sitting in a parked vehicle for an extended period of time;

Individuals or several people sketching or taking notes, photographing or videotaping areas or buildings not normally associated with tourist activity;

Clothing out of place for the weather, such as someone wearing a heavy coat in hot weather;

Follow your instinct. If something doesn't look right, it might not be.

Especially watch out for middle eastern males, totally hairless who seem to glow in the dark.

I'm sorry. I just HAD to!

Vehicles -- especially vans, U-Hauls or delivery trucks -- improperly parked or parked in locations not normally associated with deliveries;

If you must shop the malls and big box stores, take it upon yourself to avoid entry into these places while pick-ups or deliveries are blocking or reasonably close to store entrances. Terrorists are not going to drive up in a vehicle with terrorist logo on the exterior of the vehicle. They're going to be inconspicuous and catch people totally unaware. The tiniest of cars can be loaded with explosives as well as large pickup trucks, SUVs and commercial vehicles.
