I was thinking more about the &quot;close range&quot; stuff since the OP&#x27;s post mentioned kidnapping, which suggests &quot;up close and personal&quot; confrontation.  But you have a point: if somebody just wants you dead, at any cost, it&#x27;s hard to protect against a sniper, at least if they know your whereabouts.<p>If you want to get <i>really</i> paranoid, you can imagine a vector where somebody attacks by, say, intercepting your pizza delivery and adding poison to it or something.   :-(
