Thanks to Sunil for sending me this article, and bravo to him and his company for securing a contract for the Olympics.  Like the World Cup or Super Bowl, the Olympics can be an massive security undertaking, requiring numerous types of security professionals.

     I love this kind of stuff, because it is a prime example of the types of market forces that not only drive places like Afghanistan, but throughout the world.  My thoughts on the matter is that if the police paid more than PSC’s and the Taliban, then more than likely, they will retain […]

   Rest in peace to these men.  And what really kills me about this news, is that it will be snuffed out by all the other crap going on.  These contractors had been in captivity for awhile, and this is a sobering ending to a bad deal.  If any of the readers have any more […]

   Be sure to check out Tundra’s courses you can take which are SIA certified.  I guess if you want to work for them, you have to go through their courses as well, although I doubt it would be a guarantee for employment. -Matt
