US embassy cable - 05GENEVA2247

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

Welcome to Geneva

Security Advisory 
----------------- 
 
2.  Staying safe in Geneva calls for exercising the same 
routine circumspection that one would in any large city. 
Most reported criminal activity involves residential 
incidents rather than street incidents.  Nonetheless, be wary 
of pickpockets in airports, train stations and venues, such 
as Lake Geneva, which attract large crowds. 
 
While Geneva is not generally associated with terrorism 
incidents, travelers should be alert for any acts of possible 
surveillance.  Unusual or suspicious incidents should be 
reported immediately to the RSO office. 
 
Reducing the likelihood of security infractions is a post 
priority.  All TDY personnel who will process classified 
information should contact the RSO office with any questions 
concerning the proper storage of national security 
information to include computer hard drives and software. 
Secure conference rooms are also available for your use. 
 
Long-term TDY personnel are required to have a security 
briefing with the RSO before ID badge can be issued.
