The big-time weirdos (think “She rubs the lotion on her face” from “The Silence of the Lambs”) probably don’t go to coffee shops or bars, or if they do go they have much less of a chance with gullible teenagers when their initial interaction is face-to-face, and in public.

That said, I think there are so few people out there who pose that threat that the disclaimer is pretty ludicrous. I wonder how many people are actually turned away from online dating because of this. I have to admit, if every time I walked into 7-11 my slurpy had a big sticker saying “this drink has not been tested for arsenic,” I might lose my appetite.
