Also, why should people from Nebraska, a thousand miles or so away from any coast, be expected to be savvy about a danger specific to the Southeast? I'm from pretty far inland myself, and while of course I know that there are alligators in Floria, I hadn't realized that they're in basically every imaginable body of fresh water! Including ones that the famously control-freakish management at Disney lets people splash around in! That's not something tourists can be expected to know.
