How do you know? Security need not be "in your face".

What does "a really rich person" look like? Is their net worth stamped 
on their foreheads? What is "rich"?

It is folly to think that showering those who would perpetrate such 
outrages as 9/11 could be dissuaded from their evil intent merely by 
showering them with money or by being nice to them. None of the 9/11 
hijackers were impoverished. All had many opportunities available to 
them but they chose to destroy their lives along with the lives of 
thousands of innocents despite all that.
