As they should. It is frustrating to see a large population of 

dedicated security workers demeaned by individuals who have their own 

agenda, and at the same time, causing the larger population to become 

more fearsome. Having worked in nuclear power for over 30 years, I 

find these kinds of studies, and worse yet, their conclusions, 

insulting.
