Internet Age Muggers Do Not Ambush People

Winds travel across the border. They might find checkpoints of borders, of course. But they can proceed swimmingly ahead, not checked by any gun-wielding border patrols.


Unlike unchained winds, humanoids walking erectly on earth with bipeds can't. They need to pass the border checkpoint and gain the approval of admittance from the Immigration Office. In brief, terrestrial as well as ethereal travellers need visas.


The Internet Age has transformed all this. Muggers do not ambush people in the park or in the dark corner of the street. They are invisible. They travel through international optic fibers, check Korean preys electronically, and with sweet mellow voice and posing as domestic financial authorities and warning alerts of disaster because of exposure of identification or something to suspicious people and volunteering to provide a safe haven for the bank account, page them to any ATM of a metropolis and let them press their account numbers and passwords. In an instant the money in a bank account pings via optic fiber channels into a bank account of Kwantung speaking criminals.
