I think the bad guy being lucky once is one of the bad guys that only NEEDS
to be lucky once - when you are dead, you can't have a second go.
Luck is also an interesting word. Was it Arnold Palmer who, when a
commentator said to him "That was a lucky round" said, "funny, the more I
practice the luckier I get"?
I sort of side with the authorities on this, but that's probably just me
with sense of humour failure. Which reminds me of a guy going through
Atlanta Airport about three years ago, in the same queue as us for passport
control. He was 6ft 3in at least and had a T-Shirt proclaiming "Department
of Homeland Security. Fighting tourism since 1945". Not a peep out of the
authorities on that one.

A quote that's sometimes used the other way round - the bad guys have to be
lucky every time (not to get caught) and the good guys just have to be lucky
once (following a lead that this time does identify the bad guys).
