mormon garments as a protection from danger

CBS 60 MINUTES: BILL MARRIOT on LDS TEMPLE GARMENTS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC1VHMQmAUw

bill marriott, if he's telling the truth, is just confusing coincidence with magic. i wonder what bill would have said if mike wallace had said "i've brought with me a blow torch and i was wondering if you would submit your crotch to a scientific experiment?" (well i can guess he'd say something weasly to the effect of "thou shalt not tempt the lord thy god") or even better he could have simply asked "do you ever have to replace garments? do they ever get worn, e.g. like getting holes in them or coming apart at the seams?" =)

in the washing and annointing ceremony in the temple it says:
the Garment of the Holy Priesthood. Inasmuch as you do not defile it, but are true and faithful to your covenants, it will be a shield and a protection to you against the power of the destroyer

it does not specifically say that this is a physical protection. even if it was then bill was lying because his company has been selling pornography in their hotels for years, so marriot couldnt possibly have qualified as being "true and faithful to [his] covenants" according to mormon temple standards, but then again, BYU did use pornography in their gay-curing experiments on homosexuals... =)
