It just all seems like cosplay. Time, expense and inconvience in order to gain anonimity from casual twitter followers?

Will this protect him against a slightly funded and half motivated actor? Probably not.

Unless he is making a virtual appearance, just follow him or grab him there.

EDIT: I should make it clear I’m not just referencing the article but also the twitter conversations I’ve seen from th author (swatting is a good reason to take some of these steps obviously). For example, https://twitter.com/lopp/status/920669889064570880. He even comments himself in that thread “Local PD isn't going to send out the SWAT team again without calling me first”
