Not to make light of Gadi's excellent editorial, but in the early 1990s when I was in Guatemala, I did see armed guards in front of every bank building... However, a rather humorous turn was the armed guards, not in the beer or any other non-armored transport trucks, but _only_ in the Coke-a-Cola trucks. Sincerely, Daniel H.
