I think this is proof that "private" security can not be the capitalist panacea to security concerns in this day and age. The requirements are not high enough, and neither is the pay.
Although this happened in the UK, if something is THAT dangerous [nuke plants etc], then they need to be guarded by National Guard troops with orders to fire.
The fact that our refineries are still guarded by
private firms is proof we are not serious about protecting ourselves.
At the very least [knowing the military can not be everywhere], local police/sheriff officers could be hired off-duty for an extra job by these locations, as is commonly done throughout the US in other venues like grocery stores and for private traffic control.
I agree!
