"Protection" and "deterrence" are not synonyms. At best, "deterrence" is a subset of "protection" --- in which case, your job is quite a bit more than "simply put, deterrence".
At least, that's how I read it.
I agree that there is more to it than that, but trying to boil it down to the level needed by some of the posters here to understand is difficult.

The Platte of Ron is a sick collection of Ron that is not for the weak stomached person. Also shows his true colors and probably a good over under of the make up of the rest of TSA.
My employer accepts it. You don’t have to. Once again, a choice is made, right or wrong.

Did you miss the part about a “gauntlet” of measures, both public and not public?

What I read from
janetdoe's post was that she was merely telling you what your job was according to the courts, not what she PERSONALLY thought your job was.
Are you not bound by the rule of law just like the rest of us?
Here we are with the splitting of hair again, and the hypothetical. Do you think that a judge understands the in’s and out’s of the petrochemical industry? Does that judge need to have that knowledge to make a ruling in a case involving such an industry? How about brain surgery? Does he need to be a board certified surgeon to make a ruling in cases involving such? No, obviously.
Yes, I’d agree that you are confused.

Needless to say, the silence is deafening.
5 digit actually. If you are going to talk about it please at least try and provide accurate information.
