- Conduct the exchange in a "well-lit, highly-trafficked, public place" with surveillance or security officers present.
- Let a "trusted friend or family member know all the details of the exchange" (Who are you meeting with? When? Where?)
- Check that the packaging for the formula you receive is sealed.
