"Situational Obliviousness"
In reading the previous thread with this title, started a question in my mind, so lets take it a bit further.
Lots of people walking around without being aware, I use to tell my kids "presence of mind". Living close to a city in decay, I have to keep my awareness level at a higher level than say someone in a rural area. I have realized over the past few years that the police are not able to ensure my personal safety, and that it is my responsibility. While driving being aware of the traffic around you, when stopping at a red light dont pull up so close to the car in front that you cant go around with out backing up so as not to get trapped. While outside of the car being aware of the people, how they look--do they fit the area--are they looking around--are they touching their waistline for no reason-- are they printing. It gets to be a habit. So my question is, what are the other signs that you look for. What and where are you looking when you are scanning a area for risk. Please, this isn't about racial profiling so lets not go there. If this is a old rethread, sorry.
