Unfamiliar cities and “routine” trips can hide real security risks. In this episode, Garrett Thomas breaks down the travel security checks executive protection teams handle during advance work - from verifying medical coverage and nearby hospitals, to planning ground transportation options, to knowing where the closest embassy or consulate is if a passport is lost or stolen. You will also hear why travelers who look like tourists can become easy targets for snatch-and-grab theft, and what simple pre-trip planning can prevent a trip from turning into a crisis.
