Jet-Setting Rachel Bilson

With a cute scarf around her neck and a smile on her face, Rachel Bilson toted her luggage through LAX Airport on Saturday as she readied to board a departing flight.

The former OC actress has been home during the past week on a much needed break from the non-stop traveling and promoting associated with her hit movie Jumper.

Meanwhile, the 26-year old recently took the time to talk to press about the "necessary precautions when out and about - as the paparazzi have their ways and are always looking for a down and dirty ambush."

“I’ve had these guys trying to get these shots, crotch shots, I guess, and you think, ‘You’ve got to be kidding. This is the ultimate down and dirty ambush.” Bilson tells.

“But it’s something you can pretty easily protect yourself from. I’ve seen what the paparazzi can do to someone if she’s careless about how she gets out of a car and if she forgot her underwear. Fortunately, I’m not one to forget about underwear. Ever.”

The brunette beauty adds: “I like my privacy, I like having quality time with my dog. I grew up in Los Angeles, my family is in the business, and it’s easy enough to avoid the obvious places where you’ll run the gauntlet.”
