IMHO most Security guards are just people who couldn't get real cop jobs or college kids who are just looking to make some cash. i'm sure there are a million exceptions but thats my gen'l overall perspective, When I was an undergrad, myself and four or five friends all did security at the same firm and I'll tell ya, just based on that, I would never want to have to count on these firms to protect me from terrorists..

I've always believed that there are two types of people who go after police/security type jobs. First, you have the people who want to make society safer by helping out and making a difference. Then, you have the others who want power and to be able to throw their weight around. I wonder which type you encountered?
