News of terror attacks is terrifying, most especially when we're tucking those headlines into our carry-ons determined to carry on with summer travel plans. Before those adventures begin, the U.S. State Department Bureau of Consular Affairs offers a precautionary layer of security to citizens registered in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program.
Kevin Brosnahan, press officer at the Bureau of Consular Affairs, explains STEP as a pre-travel option designed to keep American international travelers and their families informed, safe, and inter-connected prior to and in-the-event-of a terror attack. The travel-aid is also deployed as an alert for natural disasters and personal emergencies. Requiring only an investment of time to outline specifics of each traveler's itinerary, the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program is a free service available to individuals and groups at Travel.State.Gov.
