It's possible, I suppose (anything's possible), that JAP's are depicted this
way because the tellers *do* feel threatened, but I very much doubt if they
are depicted that way because the tellers *may* feel threatened.

I *do* hope, for Mr. Dundes's sake, that this is a Chroniclism and not
an original quote.
