Summer travel is associated with security concerns – but the ones that are usually first thought of have to do with ensuring that your home is protected while you are away. In reality, there’s tons of security risks to the property that you’re bringing WITH you on your travels, given the sheer amount of strangers you will suddenly be around, possibly in crowds. Here’s a guide to some fantastic new portable security devices that you can implement during travel to keep your property secure and protected, as prepared by the lock experts at Top Locksmith.
Travelon Anti Theft Backpack
THis traveling backpack is made with slash resistant panels with a slash resistant body. These slash resistant components are made with a flexible stainless steel mesh. It also has locking compartments, and an RFID blocking pocket that helps protect electronic information from hacking attacks.
PacSafe Cashsafe Anti Theft Belt Wallet
This travel wallet is contained inside a belt which can be worn around the waist or even chest. It’s made out of strong polypropylene webbing, and its travel friendly and won’t flag airport security. The wallet belt has a stretch fabric storage compartment that can safely store cash, smartphones, passports, credit cards, or other valuable items.
Vigilant Hands Free Alarm
This personal alarm which is worn around your wrist like a watch can set off an incredibly loud alert that reaches 120 decibels, drawing immediate attention to your area. Criminals will be hesitant to continue pursuing you when the alarm is going off, as it can attract the attention of the authorities. Another potential use of this alarm is to alert passersby in empty natural areas that you’ve somehow slipped or are stuck in an area.
Addalock
This small device functions as a portable door lock that can fortify existing locks. SImply slip the slim device into the strike of the door frame, and the Addalock will provide extra strength to prevent unauthorized entry, even if the culprit has a functioning key to your room. This helps prevent theft from hotel rooms, even if that theft is an inside job by hospitality management staff. However, this lock can only be used if somebody is inside your room already – meaning that valuables should likely be taken with you when the room is left empty.
ZeroHour Apex Tactical Pen
This pen sized device has a variety of emergency tools inside it, including a flashlight and a tungsten glass breaker. It can be used to break through restrictive barriers, and can even be used as a weapon against possible criminal assault. Consider this item a portable all-in-one security defense device, that can come in handy – though we hope you’ll never have to use it.
