In a past post I talked about looking around at a security checkpoint in the airport to determine who was who. This is a skill that is easily developed and once you have it, it doesn’t go away.
My wife and I went on a cruise for our first anniversary. On the ship was some wealthy guy that brought aboard his bodyguards with him. For me they stood out like a soar thumb. They did a good job of fitting in, as my wife didn’t see them.
Start studying people. As you start categorizing people you will start seeing the dangerous ones, or the ones that may bring danger to you.
The easiest way to start is picking out cops. Look at how they act, walk, and stand while in uniform. They act the same when out of uniform. It’s part of who they are. You can pick out criminals the same way.
Then you can start picking out dangerous people on both sides. There are good people, former soldiers, cops, and self-defense people that can be dangerous, but not to you. Learn to pick these people out, they are the people that can give you the most help if you need it. The other dangerous people are criminals. Start by picking out gang members. They are the easiest and some time the most dangerous.
Then keep looking at how criminals act on the news. Then you can start picking them out in real life. When you find one of these in the real world, go the other way. Easiest way to stay safe, don’t be there when things go bad.
Stay Safe,
Ben
