QOTY? -- "hiding in plain sight"

[victor steinbok]

No explanation is necessary for the quote (the phrase was used by the Boston
Globe to enumerate known contacts Bulger made in Massachusetts and NY since
going into hiding). But why would it be QOTY? It's used routinely in
literature and cinema. I can cite at least three films I've seen recently
(of various vintage) that had the line in them (OK, one was 1970s and
French, but who is going to argue with Lino Ventura?).
