Or maybe it's because I have lived in Europe where nudity is not a big deal.  I have sat in co-ed sauna fully naked and the killing heat was the only thing on my mind. 

Or maybe it's because I flew a Pan Am flight from Germany just months before Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed out of the sky.

Or maybe it's because I have been in dangerous parts of the world where being an American is sometimes a liability.

Or maybe it's because I don't have wings and can't fly myself.

2. Keep random bad actors off guard by frequently raising the bar on getting caught
