Let’s not go overboard with the panic just yet. The world isn’t some spy novel where nefarious actors are constantly trying to kill you or your children.

How do I know? Because if you are not currently under protection, I could easily create all the location history I might want within a week. And nobody willing to abduct you would scoff at a week’s work.

Also: if anybody wanted to kill you you’d be dead.

I know it’s a lot of fun to run down all the “thread actors” and the “tradecraft” they might use in your head on long, boring flights. But you’re not actually a movie character.
