I think the comment was more geared toward entering unknown homes...

For example, we have a new person the region, with more trailers, more 
comings, and goings, of various persons, and more law enforcement 
activity from multiple agencies within the past couple of weeks, than 
I've seen, or heard about for the average person their entire lives.

I'm guessing that's not the type of home to go into alone.  However, 
friends, and neighbors that I've known for years, hang out with, watch 
movies, have a beer chat5 with on the street regularly, yeah, I probably 
wouldn't run away from them after so many years, because of a potential 
RFI issue.

As for self-concern, and liability, physical risk aside, certainly an 
individual, like even the most penny pinching, yet conscientious 
business, whether it be a gas station, quicky-mart, bank, or casino, has 
items on their person to document, and protect themselves from the 
all-too-common idiocy that surrounds them.  In a recent conversation 
with a local law enforcement representative, we (two persons) were 
comparing equipment, specifically to document incidents, and 
interactions when out in the field.  He had two.  We had nine. His was 
off.  All of ours were running, not counting further remote equipment 
monitoring, and documenting the interaction.

Don't needlessly expose yourself, and never, ever, limit yourself.
