Take a look at this article/video of a foreign tourist being kidnapped in a Bangkok airport. The kidnappers used a five-man team and had ten more airport and immigration officials on the payroll to make sure things went smoothly.
This is certainly a unique and rare crime. It might still be worth the mental effort to figure out how to avoid/escape such a well-coordinated attack.
If you saw this, would you recognize a kidnapping was taking place?
