A purported ex-secret service agent has revealed his top tips for keeping safe while you're in public - and some of them may be surprising. The important information was shared in a new TikTok video this week posted by Scott Bryson, who claims that he worked in the United States Secret Service for many years.

Although he is now retired, he still takes to social media to share his tips and tricks - and this time was no different, as he urged everyone to be 'observant' while outside the home. The first tip that he shared in the video was simple - and that was to always make sure you put away your phone when you park your car and go into a store.
'Stay off your phone, same thing, going in, going out,' Bryson said. 'Stay off your phone.'. Next, he gave an important pointer for people in the parking lot, stressing the importance of being aware of your surroundings. 'Ladies, especially you, listen, when you're parked here... if you come out and there's a car parked right beside you, and I mean super close to the line or something like that, that should be a red flag,' Bryson shared.
'Is there somebody in the car? Is it a minivan? Has it got sliding doors? Is it an SUV? I'm not saying you can't go get in your car, but just pump the breaks, okay?' he continued.
