Despite BSS' lack of connection to Harvard, the pantless crusade has been mistakenly linked to Harvard in the past. In 2009, one subway minstrel assumed Harvard was involved in the gag—perhaps the result of Primal Scream lore, or the correlation between intelligence and disregard or ignorance of social norms.

...largely been to protect VIPs, she says. "Now they have to deal with a major threat, but have no expertise." Relative to the size of the population, the police are understaffed.
