but there is absolutely no risk in a B&M that you will be playing with someone who is wearing special X-ray vision donk-goggles that allow him to see through the back of the cards and know the hole cards of everyone else at his table.

Did you hear that? That was thousands of people who know how to mark a deck of cards suddenly getting the shivers

The difference between the oldschool Texas games, with robberies, marked cards and so on, and AP is that there are lots of games to go around. People traveling the circuit back then didn't have a choice of where to play. Moreover, they could be counted on to catch the blatant cheaters - so the grift had to be kept to a reasonable margin. You don't have that assurance at AP now.
Also, MTT poker is a whole separate story, one which rewards cheating and punishes the EV of everyone else far more than old school 60's limit (remember, they didn't even play NL) ever could.
