The best security to me would seem like:
1> screening
2> letting someone know where you are
3> using your gut, if it seems wrong, it probably is.
Muscle is only going to help you AFTER you are in a dangerous situation. Best thing is to never put yourself in harm's way.

I've heard stories of a regular who took the wrong dose of a script and had some strange behavior. I also know of ladies who are known for have good skills in the above 3 areas, but they don't help one bit if a guy suddenly decides he's going to stiff you or walk out without paying altogether. Short of chasing a guy down and tackling him herself, of taking th loss & poting a warning about him online... it doesn't help you get your money back 100% of the time.
Not every guy seen with a provider on or off duty is in her pocket as a pimp, manager, agency (let's face it, agencies often opperate in a similar nature to a pimp) or hired muscle. And most ladies I know who don't have one realized they don't need one to get done what the want, safely & lucratively.
