I agree, I purchased one of those purses from travelsmith where you wear it across the body and it was slash proof while traveling in London and Rome recently.

I cannot believe the secretservice didn't see this happening.

I watched a gang of pick pockets in action a Mardi Gras in New Orleans one a few years ago. I didn't realize what they were actually doing until people started yelling that they had been robbed. We were standing at the back of a crowd on the side of the street watching a MG parade, when a group of about 5 or 6 people all dressed in black started elbowing their way through the crowd. When they made it to the front of the crowd they dashed across the street through the parade. It was then when people in the crowd started missing their wallets and purses. The perps were out of sight and through the crowds on the other side of the street.
