Security is not an "excuse," it is a valid reason, because anything can, and will happen.
Again, holding hundreds of healthy able-bodied people in a frozen coffin because someone might go mental or might be disabled or might slip and fall is just an outright poor choice. Someone might go into a diabetic coma too. The possibilities are endless. Do we all have to be treated like the least common denominator?

People go mental and slip and fall every day at workplaces and shopping malls. But we as a society don't fell compelled to drum up the cliche "security " card.
