It never hurts to be careful. **** **** From the keys of Steve Henning, AT&T Bell Labs, Reading, PA rduxb!2141smh I understand the pickpockets of Paris and Rome also go to the Olympic games, worlds fairs, and other crowds through out the world to practice their art. They probably have enough passports and credit cards to go anywhere they want. My favorite trick is to carry my cards and checks someplace no one else would. I usually have another wallet with enough cash for normal transactions which is expendable for muggers in the good old USA and pickpockets in the Old World.
