This was a part of the cautionary message my very reliable travel
agent provided me with... along with a litany of general safety
scaremongering far in excess of I'd get when traveling to random spots
in Germany or the U.K.

It is, however, trivial for people to find similar advice:

...Which includes some shocking material even more worry some than the
advice I was given.
