A Stitch of Protection

Adrian doesn’t tell us where he found this:

“Many Chechens have sewn their pockets up in order to prevent anything being planted on them if stopped by police.

This would be good advice for many victems of the drug thugs (many, many more examples available).

NB: The first + sign in the above sequences means at the same time as.
