UNDERCOVER ADDRESS
Invest in luggage tags for checked bags and carry-ons that shield your name and address from potential prying eyes. I still employ the “need-to-know” posture of the CIA when I travel; strangers don’t need to know where I’m going or a location that I might have left unattended behind. |

HOTEL ROOM ETIQUETTE
When traveling as a spy, I kept the DO NOT DISTURB or PRIVACY PLEASE sign on my door at all times. While a busy professional woman likely appreciates her bed being turned down or room cleaned, she still should keep electronic gear and valuables out of sight. Most hotels offer in-room safes; use them! |

Using state of the art privacy technology, filters help protect private information, keeping on-screen information from being viewed by onlookers. You, secret agent that you are, see a bright screen.
Everyone else sees nothing. |
