★★★★★
Informative and Fun!
"As a single woman near a big city, there were many things I learned about protecting myself. I'd recommend this book to anyone who wears rose-colored glasses like I did. It's OK to be trusting of people but you also need to be aware of who's out there!"

About Major Mike
Major Mike Williams is a retired Federal Agent who served in law enforcement for 18 years. When airline hijacking became a serious problem for domestic airlines in 1981, Mike served as a U.S. Sky Marshal. Through joint operations with elite counterterrorism units, including Israel’s Mossad and Germany’s special police, he learned advanced counterterrorism measures that shaped his career.
Mike was instrumental in implementing anti-hijacking software that was later approved by the TSA, and he personally trained airline pilots and FAA inspectors in its use.
Among his many honors are the General Douglas MacArthur Leadership Award, given annually to the finest officer in the Army, and two Bronze Stars for heroism. He earned the title “Major” from the rank he held in the U.S. Army.
“Predators don’t pick random victims. They pick the ones who look vulnerable.”
