OpEd Security practices

I read this OpEd piece today, and it captures many of the discussions I've had with people during the last month. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ucrr/20011013/cm/security_in_the_homeland_--_a_... I highly recommend Charlie Schnabolk's book, Physical Security: Practices and Technology. Its one of several I've found very helpful in trying to understand security. Hiring ex-cops is one facet of security, but there is more to security than big guys with guns. In today's world you need a multi-disciplinary group handling security.
