This is going to be interesting to assess, yes we can say to tourists don't go to muslim states, but lots of us have to go because of business or work reasons, preppers and public in general are not going to be allowed to take much gear with them, so much of the preps are going to have to be procedures etc.

Such as never opening the door to your room until you use the peep hole to see who is outside.

Get one of this auxiliary metal or plastic door lock devices popular with travellers, looks a bit like a spring loaded wedge which when used stops door from being forced open from the outside.
