No, they're not. I used to (for a short time before quiting in disgust at what I saw people doing) work in the world of catching "bad guys" & there is no real threat. Professional security ala EU is all that's needed. Everything else in "American-style" security is for show & to bolster the American psycho-cultural need to feel important and victimized.
