There are ways to minimize the risks (see another comment reply of mine in this thread). But yes -- carrying a bunch of cash with you and meeting a stranger in a parking lot, then getting in that person's car is definitely a $5 wrench attack vector.
Face-to-face OTC trades remain one of the riskiest things you can do as a Bitcoiner. Do not engage in trades in dark alleys or empty parking lots!
