Yes yes, agree with you. People incluing but not limited to Pilots and Flight Attendents need to exercise better situational awareness and have better security habits and your recomendations are great places to start. I would just counter that a distracted woman on her phone with earpods in maybe spills her latte and burns herself as she bumps into someone also distracted coming out of the Cheescake factory.......I just dont think the outcome is Death had she been at Cherry Creek area as an example.

Yes 100% this. Look it I acknowledge we are not living in the America of the late 80's early 90's, nor do I expect our domestic overnights to be as safe as Haneda or Narita that being said for any given overnight location there are parts/sections of the city that are more safe than others, and I think the police and secuity consulting firms could cery easily give you this information......and I would be shocked if they recommneded the 16th Street mall as safer than Cherry Creek Mall or other areas in Denver proper. I just think that should be now a consideration when selecting locations for >14 hrs, given what we can all agree on is a more dangerous American urban area than the one we grew up with.
