While this increases the odds of infiltration by "insurgent goat", Its hard to fault an elected public figure in Pakistan for kevlar briefs, rabbit's feet, or even sacrificing a live chicken, a 'la Bull Durham. It might be more efficient to list who doesn't want to kill you. This might be a job a police chief in a Mexican border town would pass on....
