8. (SBU) THREAT ASSESSMENT: 
 
A.  POLITICAL VIOLENCE/TERRORISM: LIAISON WITH HOST GOVERNMENT 
 
POLICE AND SECURITY FORCES INDICATE THERE IS LITTLE THREAT TO U.S. 
CITIZENS (OFFICIAL VISITORS, BUSINESS VISITORS, TOURISTS) FROM 
INDIGENOUS TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS IN ARGENTINA.  THERE ARE NO 
VIOLENT DOMESTIC GROUPS CURRENTLY ACTIVE IN THIS COUNTRY THAT ARE 
SPECIFICALLY TARGETING U.S. INTERESTS.  HOWEVER, GIVEN THE PRESENCE 
OF MEMBERS OF AND SUPPORT FOR EXTREMIST INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST 
GROUPS SUCH AS HIZBOLLAH IN THE TRI-BORDER REGION OF ARGENTINA 
(MISIONES PROVINCE), VISITORS HERE CANNOT DISCOUNT THE POSSIBILITY 
OF TERRORIST ACTIVITY, TO INCLUDE RANDOM ACTS OF ANTI-AMERICAN 
VIOLENCE. 
 
B.  CRIME: PETTY STREET CRIME IN THE CITY OF BUENOS AIRES AND THE 
IMMEDIATE SUBURBS CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM FOR RESIDENTS AND 
VISITORS ALIKE. BURGLARIES IN THE MORE FASHIONABLE SUBURBS HAVE BEEN 
A PARTICULAR PROBLEM. VISITORS TO THE CITY OF BUENOS AIRES SHOULD BE 
AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH HOTEL SECURITY (I.E. THEFTS FROM ROOM) AND 
PICKPOCKETS OR PURSE SNATCHING ON THE STREETS AND PUBLIC 
TRANSPORTATION (BUSES AND TRAINS). PICKPOCKETS OFTEN WORK IN PAIRS 
AND EMPLOY A VARIETY OF RUSES TO VICTIMIZE THE UNSUSPECTING VISITOR. 
 IN RECENT YEARS, MOST CRIME AFFECTING VISITORS HAS BEEN 
NON-VIOLENT; AGGRAVATED ROBBERIES, SHOOTINGS, ETC., WHILE NOT 
COMPLETELY UNHEARD OF IN BUENOS AIRES WERE NONETHELESS UNCOMMON. 
RECENTLY, HOWEVER, INCIDENTS OF ARMED INVASIONS OF RESTAURANTS, 
SHOPS AND RESIDENCES BY CRIMINAL GROUPS ARE BEING OBSERVED WITH 
GREATER FREQUENCY, AND AS A RESULT, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT DUE 
CAUTION BE EXERCISED WHEN TRAVELING ABOUT THE CITY.  HOWEVER, IN 
GENERAL, THE CRIME LEVEL IN BUENOS AIRES IS LESS SEVERE THAN LARGE 
U.S. CITIES.

CITY.  HOWEVER, IN GENERAL, THE CRIME LEVEL IN BUENOS AIRES IS LESS 
SEVERE THAN LARGE U.S. CITIES. 
 
9. (SBU) EXCHANGE FACILITIES:  THE ARGENTINE PESO, WHICH IS 
CURRENTLY EXCHANGED AT A FLOATING RATE, IS THE OFFICIAL CURRENCY. 
TRAVELERS CHECKS MAY BE ACCEPTED BY HOTELS BUT ARE NOT WIDELY 
ACCEPTED BY OTHER BUSINESSES OR ESTABLISHMENTS. THERE IS A WIDE 
NETWORK OF ATMS THAT HONOR US ISSUED ATM/DEBIT/CREDIT CARDS ISSUING 
FUNDS IN PESOS. TRAVELERS ARE REMINDED TO EXERCISE THE SAME CAUTION 
WHEN USING AN ATM AS ONE WOULD IN THE UNITED STATES. 
 
10. (SBU) EMBASSY ACCESS:  STATE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES SHOULD BRING 
THEIR STATE ID CARDS/BUILDING PASSES TO BUENOS AIRES TO FACILITATE 
ACCESS TO THE CHANCERY. 
 
11. (SBU) TELEPHONE CALLS: VISITORS SHOULD BRING FUND CITES OR 
CREDIT CARD TO COVER THE COST OF OFFICIAL INTERNATIONAL AND 
IN-COUNTRY LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE CALLS.  INTERNATIONAL CALLING 
CARDS ARE RECOMMENDED. 
 
12. (SBU) LAPTOP COMPUTERS/DIGITAL CAMERAS: LAPTOPS/PALM PILOTS, 
CELLULAR PHONES AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES MAY NOT BE BROUGHT INTO 
THE EMBASSY WITHOUT THE PRIOR APPROVAL OF THE REGIONAL SECURITY 
OFFICE.  PERSONALLY OWNED LAPTOPS/PALM PILOTS MAY NOT/NOT BE USED IN 
THE EMBASSY.  USG-OWNED LAPTOPS MAY ONLY BE USED IN CONTROLLED 
ACCESS AREAS (CAA) IF THE USER CERTIFIES THAT THE COMPUTER HAS BEEN 
CONTINUOUSLY UNDER THE PERSONAL CONTROL OF A CLEARED AMERICAN 
THROUGHOUT TRANSIT.  IF THIS REQUIREMENT IS NOT MET, THE LAPTOP CAN 
ONLY BE USED OUTSIDE OF THE CAA.  USG-OWNED PALM PILOTS ARE UNDER 
THE SAME RESTRICTIONS AS CELLULAR PHONES AND OTHER ELECTRONIC 
DEVICES, AND MAY NOT BE UTILIZED WITHIN THE CAA.  AT THE EMBASSY, 
ALL USG ISSUED OR PERSONAL CELLULAR PHONES MUST BE LEFT OUTSIDE OF 
THE CAA.  USE OF CELLULAR PHONES OUTSIDE OF THE CAA IS NOT 
RESTRICTED.  IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IF TRAVELER IS BRINGING A 
CELLULAR PHONE INTO THE COUNTRY, ARGENTINE LAW REQUIRES THE TRAVELER 
TO DECLARE THE PHONE, INCLUDING ITS VALUE, WHEN FILLING OUT THE 
CUSTOMS AND IMMIGRATION DECLARATION FORM. 
 
13. (SBU) MANDATORY PERSONAL SECURITY TRAINING: ALL PERSONNEL 
REQUESTING COUNTRY CLEARANCE TO PERFORM DUTY FOR 30 DAYS OR MORE AT 
AN OVERSEAS LOCATION MUST HAVE COMPLETED THE MANDATORY PERSONAL 
SECURITY TRAINING ("SERVING ABROAD FOR FAMILIES AND EMPLOYEES"
