If you see something, say something: Recognizing the signs of suspicious activity

We all play a role in keeping our airports and our communities safe. Whether you’re on your way to work or flying home from a vacation, it’s important to stay alert and report any potential signs of terrorism-related crime and human trafficking to law enforcement. 

If you see something, say something. Call 911 if you notice suspicious activity. 

Signs of terrorism-related crime: 

• Leaving unattended vehicles, bags or packages
• Taking pictures of security or personnel
• Loitering near secure doors or unstaffed exits
• Asking unusual or unnecessary questions 

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security provides additional information on how to recognize the signs of suspicious activity.  

Signs of human trafficking: 

• Carrying few or no personal items
• Having no knowledge of travel details such as destination
• Appearing to be controlled, closely watched or followed
• Deferring conversation to someone else
• Seeming frightened of uniformed security personnel 

Employees can also help MSP Airport combat human trafficking activity by learning to spot this hand signal to help those in need.
