You have an incredibly narrow view of the "security industry," most 
likely born of your apparent lack of exposure to more than one facet of 
it.  Some of us are involved in defense against Class II and Class III 
adversaries, and don't tend to concern ourselves with Class I types in 
general.  You and your friends, on the other hand, don't even appear to 
think in terms of anything but this class.

I find this extremely amusing, especially when you hold forth sweeping 
generalizations about the industry as a whole.
