Seeking Security in Non-Secured Areas
Seek as it may the world can extend nothing more than a mere illusion of safety to the human population, which is besieged on all sides by doubts, fears and a sense of lost security. The truth be told the idea of "safety" has never been more than a concept, a notion. Reality is similar to the SciFi movie "The Matrix": Safety exist only in the state of being asleep! Wake up and you have a serious problem. Not being fatalistic,... but to believe you are secured anywhere - at anytime - on this planet is comparable to faith in the Tooth Fairy paying your monthly bills based on you loosing all your teeth in a brick tossing tournament. I need not tell that it just is not happening.
Look at some of the systems we lean on to obtain a sense of security. Yet they can not "deliver the goods."
Social Security - In February of 2005 the SSA (Social Security Administration) calculated that the system's trust fund would be deleted by 2042. After this the government would have legal authority to only pay out 73% of the currently promised benefits to the eligible retiree. The brighter side is that the Congressional Budget Office "guess-i-mate" that the depletion of the funds will not occur until a decade later in 2052 and that it may not be as bad as predicted. The bottom line will be little or no Social Security benefits for the elderly who depend on the system for support. Is the system bad? No. It is like everything else: the people overseeing the system and the money that funds it. Are there "better systems?" Actually, no. In the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway the social security systems are denoted as the best in the world. However, in conjunction with these claims, these countries have some of the highest taxes in the world!
Insurance (Auto, home, life, etc.) - Everyone is aware that the purpose of insurance of any kind is not for the prevention of accidents or disaster. Insurance(s) functions to provide coverage of all or a specific portion of what may be lost in an incident. It is morbid to meditate on negative things, but consider the fact that no policy or agreement can convey or bestow more than a sense of security. There is no guarantee suggested or promised of protection other than the hope of aid after the fact.
Two years after the horror September 11, 2001 businesses and companies were trying to evaluate the possibilities of further attacks and what it might cost them in dollars and cents. In 2003 a survey by the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers that fewer than 10% of the small commercial clients and under 20% of the medium-sized accounts had purchased any "terrorism coverage." This was the overall attitude of the businesses/companies even in the face of federal legislation which ruled that insurers must provide coverage. Why was this coverage more or less ignored? The cost for this "protection," which is not protection or security at all, was beyond the budget of the small to mid-range company. The mindset may well have been, "Why pay more than I can even afford for something that can't prevent the action from occurring?" One may say, "At the lest your business is covered." Well, the question was how much is covered and it still was more than could be afforded. No security or safety here.
There can be no forgetting what facts 9/11 startled America awake to comprehend. Facts that most of the world already knew: there is no security, no protection, no safety from a life-consuming belief. Whether it is the truth or a lie does not change the fact that someone believes something and he "security" is in your destruction. (A guarantee of secured life after this life is a strong incentive in the hands of "believer.")
The awful cost of Americans allowing themselves to drift along in a make-believe land of material bliss and internal security has been very expensive. An expert in the field of "Security in Non-Secured areas:
"Alongside the mujahadeen in Afghanistan, we bled Russia for ten years until it went bankrupt and was force to withdraw in defeat... We are continuing this policy to bleed America to the point of bankruptcy... Al Qaeda spent $500,000 on [the 9/11 attacks], while the incident and its aftermath have cost America more than half a trillion dollars. This meant, that by the grace of God, every dollar al Qaeda spent cost America a million dollars and a huge number of jobs... ( Osama bin Laden, October 2004)
True statement or not the facts remain that there is no safe place on this planet. If one nation builds up its military power, other nations feel insecure. Armament leads to more armament. From a natural perspective there are two basic groups - those who think that they can "hide" and those that know you can't! No matter what mankind does it is no more than a stage production of the "Legend of the Ostrich." Head buried in the dirt: 1% covered and pretending to be secure... 99% exposed and vulnerable to harm. Why cover your head with a blanket if there is an armed intruder in you bedroom? Is it the concept that "what I don't see don't exist?" is anywhere safe? Does safety exist in this world?
Before a answer is given... consider a little child. A child, if he or she is raised in an environment of love and care, experience what is near perfect security. There are no thoughts of lack or need, even if these problems exist. There is little or no sense of danger if mother and/or father is present. There is nothing impossible. Nothing is more than a dream away. Each new day has been washed clean of the stains of yesterday.
On one occasion, when His disciples were struggling with the giant task of who would be the "Top Dog," Jesus took a little child to express a reality. He stated that unless a person - any person - changed the way he is thinking, turned around and went the opposite way, becoming like a little child in attitude, he could not enter the Kingdom of God. (Matt. 18:1-4) The point is that the nature of a child is clean until it is marred by the filth of this world's system. A child trusts and has faith as a matter of course. A child laughs, plays, believes and reaches for every dream. That is why when a child is violated he runs away inside himself to hide his heart and mind from what he may not be able to physically ward off. A child knows that someone is suppose to be there to protect him. Someone....
If there was a God (and there is!) would He leave us so "exposed," so unsafe and ensured? No, He would not. Interestingly God is referred to as the Rock - a secure place, sure protection - numerous times in scriptures. (Psalms 18:2, 31, 46; 27:5) David, the shepherd turned king, knew a great deal of this divine security because for years, prior to his ascending to the throne, he fled for his live from assassination. David experienced the delivering grace and mercy of God time after time. Psalm 91 sums it all up. God is security. Nothing can happen to you under the cover of His will. He is greater than any weapon of mass or minor destruction.
Do you have a hard time accepting this? Think about Israel, surrounded by avowed enemies who have sworn to annihilate her. It has been attempted more than once by armies that out numbered Israel. The 1967 Six Day War should have been a "six days walk over!" Taking no sides,... what happened? America and England were accused of fighting along side of Israel. This allegation was never confirmed.
Everyone desires security. Everyone want to be protected from threats that can not be withstood. Everyone needs the same secured environment of a loved child. Don't you?

I want to join the airforce and am very interested in being apart of the security forces?
But i dont want a job that will keep me in danger 24/7 and i dont want a job that will send me to afghanistan. Can anybody tell me how many people in security forces get sent overseas and if being in security forces is a very dangerous job?
bud if you don't want to be deployed don't join the military period. The security forces regularly deploy to Afghanistan and iraq. If you want to join the military, no matter what MOS, be prepared to deploy. if you're not, then the military isn't for you.

5 Major Corporate Security Uh-Ohs of 2010
Corporate security made headlines throughout 2010 for all the wrong reasons. At a time when companies should be savvy enough to protect corporate information, disgruntled employees and hackers got their hands on too much data last year. This is why it isn't surprising that one of the key trends for 2011 is a focus on corporate security and data protection.
Here are the Top 5 corporate security and privacy blunders of 2010. Warning: the list probably won't shock you:
1. WikiLeaks
The largest data leak in history. A couple of weeks ago it was revealed just how easy it was for Bradley Manning to access and leak more than 250,000 state department cables, sent from, or to, US embassies around the world. The information contained in many of these cables is of the highest level of sensitivity. It's also suspected that Manning leaked daily war logs from the Iraq and Afghanistan operations. Sounds like it would be tough to access this information doesn't it? Surprisingly, it wasn't. In the Guardian article "How 250,000 US Embassy Cables Were Leaked," they described how the information was stolen:
"'I would come in with music on a CD-RW labelled with something like 'Lady Gaga' … erase the music … then write a compressed split file. No one suspected a thing ... [I] listened and lip-synched to Lady Gaga's Telephone while exfiltrating possibly the largest data spillage in American history.' He said that he 'had unprecedented access to classified networks 14 hours a day 7 days a week for 8+ months.'"
2. Ford
Ford's corporate security isn't "built Ford tough" like the company's slogan. In November, former Ford employee Mike Yu pleaded guilty to trade secret theft against Ford. It turns out the former employee copied roughly 4000 company documents onto an external hard drive that he took with him after completing his final shift at Ford. The documents stolen by Yu didn't pertain to his job at the company, but he still had access to them anyways. This single act of trade secret theft has been estimated to cost Ford more than $50 million in losses.
3. Google
Google had two major privacy snafus this year. The first case involved Google Buzz and the second involved "wi-fi sniffing". In the case of Buzz, a class-action suit was filed against Google because the private personal data belonging to Gmail users was made available to the public without permission- or knowledge, of its users. The wi-fi snooping case, the Computer World article "Google Stops Sniffing Wi-Fi Data After Privacy Gaffe," states:
"Google has decided to stop its Street View cars from sniffing wireless networking data after an embarrassing privacy gaffe. The company revealed that Street View vehicles had been sniffing the content of users' Internet communications on open wireless networks, despite the company's earlier statements to the contrary. Google has since discovered that it has been mistakenly collecting the content of communications from non-password-protected Wi-Fi networks."
4. Goldman Sachs
In February, a former Goldman Sachs employee, Sergey Aleynikov was indicted for trade secret theft. On his last day with the company, Aleynikov transferred computer code pertaining to the company's high-frequency trading platform to a computer server in another country. He was leaving to work for another company to help them develop a similar trading platform, so he must have thought that having the code from Goldman Sachs would make his job a bit easier. Aleynikov could wind up receiving a 25 year prison sentence for his actions.
5. UBS
Potatoes and frequent flyer miles- just a few of the terms used in an attempt to mask information being leaked from now former UBS employee Igor Poteroba. The Reuters article, "UBS Banker Used Coded Email for Insider Trades-US,"
"The leaked information related to forthcoming announcements about mergers or acquisitions involving six publicly traded healthcare companies."
That's not the only email case that caused problems at UBS this year. In November, GM parted ways with UBS because of an email that was sent to more than 100 people it was not intended for. The email contained information about an upcoming share issue by GM, causing UBS to lose approximately $10 million. Lesson learned: check who you are sending your emails to!
