Saturday AM am heading off to Guatemala (2 wk Spanish course);
everything I read says there's PICPOCKETS GALORE down there.

Now, a waist-pack can probably have its belt cut in .5 seconds
with a arazor in the hands of one of these people.

(Or maybe not;' maybe it's the best you can do?)

Someone makes a waist pocket thingy that is lined with thin wire mesh.
I
don't know what company but it might be possible to do this yourself.

Fanny packs are a lot harder to cut off if you wear them UNDER your
clothes. Put it next to you skin and your t-shirt or whatever on top of
it. Tucking in your t-shirt OVER it, helps even more. Keep the pouch in
front -- the heck with looking like your pregnant or have a mini-gut --
where you can see/feel it at all times.
