Keeps muggers and rip-off artists away quite well! Can be a great way to stay below the radar when backpacking, esp in rich countries. Just remember to clean up before getting to a nice hotel or similar... or you risk getting turned away. Another tip, related to number 5 really, is to look poor rather than shady.

Other ways of indirectly sending a clear signal without any form of provocation is to put on ear phones on an MP3 player for instance. If you are in the bus, find a seat near the bus driver or near the entrance. Should the situation requires it, quickly get off the bus. Perhaps one other way, is to avoid making direct eye contact.
