  1. Situational Awareness
    (?) “What is Situational Awareness?” 

-There’s a lack of good training to discuss their own physical security

*Ph.Ds leaving car doors wide open, blaming safety officers when they mess up
*Common sense is not so common
*Scenarios don’t always cover every event

*Dead bodies, car accidents, people streaking (lol), medical issues
-Policies can be simple, like opening a car door

*Need to vet whether the person is actually their car

Have you seen both good and bad training on situational awareness? Does it seem to differ between physical and cyber security?
