You'd have to paint him to match the desert sands - or he would end up
as bowl of turtle soup in some nomad's tent. ;)

On a more serious, sneaky and illegal note - I wonder if anyone has
put magnets in their shoes and then took a walk around Meteor Crater?
I can picture some sneak going back to his car, taking his shoes off,
removing the magnets, and then shale, spheroids and fragments fall off
the bottom of the shoes. Not that I would condone that, but I bet it
would work.
