Security Features of the Travelon Security Tour Bag
The Travelon Security Tour Bag has several anti-theft bag features which will keep your valuables safe.
RFID Protection - Protects your RFID enabled credit cards and passports from "Electronic Pickpocketing"
Many credit card companies are issuing credit cards which contain Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology that lets you simply wave your credit card, passport, or license in front of a nearby scanner instead of having to slide the magnetic strip through it.
It’s a fairly simple concept. The electronic scanner sends a signal which is received by an antenna embedded in the card, which is connected to the card's RF chip, thus activating it.
Since 2005, many credit card companies such as Chase Bank began introducing their RF credit card and coined the term "Blink" technology. These "contact less" cards can be simply waved in front of a RFID enabled point of sale terminal.
Thieves can "hi-jack" the RFID information with easy to come RFI readers. . That is where the use of the RFID protection embedded into this tour bag comes into play. By placing your RF enabled credit cards or passport into the organizer pocket of this anti-theft tour bag, they are protected from being “hi-jacked” by an unauthorized person.
If the U.S. Government is concerned about RFID chips in ID Cards Shouldn't You Be?
There’s a major security concern about the illicit tracking of RFID tags. In fact, the United States government requires new federal employee ID cards to be delivered with an approved shielding sleeve or holder. Hmm…think there’s a reason for this shield?
Identity theft and fraud can occur without you even knowing that it happened. Take extra caution with RFID-blocking wallets and shields if you carry:
A U.S. Passport issued since October, 2006 (the so-called smart passport)
A debit or credit card – MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover
An enhanced Driver’s License with long-range RFID chips (check with your state)
Security Tour Bag Flap - Lets you know if someone is getting into your bag's outside organizer pocket
Something as simple as Velcro can keep pickpockets out of your bag. You'll be sure to notice even the gentlest of tugs if they dare try to pull up on the flap. The beauty of Velcro is it is easy for you to pull up the flap and quickly access you bag.
"Anti-Pickpocket” Locking Security Zippers Stops Pickpockets from opening Your Bag
Often pickpockets who target tourists are young children with small and nimble hands who stand beside you, unzip your bag’s zipper and remove your valuables without your knowledge.
The Travelon Anti-Theft Tour Bag stops this type of theft cold in its tracks with its built-in security zipper locks.
To use the zipper locks, simply zip the tour bag shut, then lock the zipper pull down with the zipper security catch. While you know how to unhook the zipper from the catch, a thief couldn't do it without getting caught. The Anti-Theft Tour Bag has two tamper proof security zippers, one which secures the main compartment, and the other protecting the zippered compartment on the outside of the tour bag.
“Anti-Snatch” Tour Bag Security Strap Prevents “Snatch and Run” Thefts
Another type of theft is the “snatch and run” bag theft. You place your tour bag on a chair next to you while at a cafe. You become momentarily distracted as a friendly stranger begins to ask you questions.
As you politely answer the questions your attention is intentionally diverted from your bag. Shortly after the friendly stranger leaves you notice your bag is gone. While that “friendly stranger” diverted your attention, an accomplice lifted your bag without you knowledge.
You can prevent this type of theft and dine with peace of mind by using the Travelon Anti-Snatch” security strap. The carry strap of the bag easily detaches from the fashion ring at one end of the bag. Take unhooked the strap loop it around a chair arm or back and back onto the bag. Now the bag is anchored to the chair.
“Anti-Slash” Cut-Proof Purse Security Strap Prevents “Cut and Run” Thefts
The shoulder strap of this security tour bag has a flexible steel cable running through it, so now the bag strap is cut-proof, thwarting cut n run theft. This strap is stronger than an ordinary plain leather purse strap. The security shoulder strap is fully adjustable and can be lengthened or shortened from a hang length of 9 to 20 inches. The hang length is measured from the top of the strap, to the top of the bag.
Eembedded into the length of the security strap is a flexible steel cable which resists cutting and snatching. See the cable resting in the middle of the white plastic.
Security “Chain Link” Steel Mesh Embedded in Bag Material Prevents Bag Slash Thefts
Embedded in between the inside and outside material of the Anti-Theft Tour Bag is a slash-proof chain-link construction that covers the bottom and lower portions of the security bag. This security feature prevents a thief from cutting any side of the anti-theft tour bag, and prevents your valuables from falling out. Slash n grab thefts typically occur in crowded locations such as subways, buses, elevators, escalators, ferries, or other congested locations where you may be packed against people and wouldn't notice the jostling.
