Every time someone takes a shot at a president the Secret Service always happen to be there. Does that mean that the Secret Service are the cause of the attack, or is it because part of their job is to be there if an attack happens? The same goes for private security companies.
People have to get used to the privatisation of certain services.

Our social contract demands and requires that government work in the best interests of the people, NOT the best interests of corporations or the federal reserve or our congress critters. The problem is putting $$/profit first. That must change. Money is a tool -- not the master -- and must be used accordingly.
