This is the part thats exciting to me.
Who hasn't been affected by this? Or hasn't seen health insurance denials hurt people?
They can pay security all they want. But the security better be truly sociopathic because whatever the salaries they get paid still won't bring back friends, family, neighbors, mentors, etc.
I mean... the industry tends to attract a certain type.
Imagine being too sociopathic and too corrupt to be a cop.
We're talking high end here. These people are too skilled to be a cop.
Often they have quite a bit of experience in the military right?
Military, spec ops, retire. Then they got military pension on top of big money being security contractors. And their bosses will buy them all the best toys.
Let them pay for security. In the words of the IRA: They need to be right all the time, we only need to be right once.
The hurt folks only need to be lucky once.
The security might be willing to go hard for just that reason. Don't underestimate the ability of a human to compromise their morals for money to help their loved ones.
