well, i didnt want to go into it...i dont know how much mike wants to let
out in advance, but i'll say this:

types of security:

physical: this includes the stuff like fences, cameras, etc...
personal: the guards (and critters, if any)
magical: wards, elementals, etc...


one of the examples he gave during the seminar was the concept of having
an LMG co mounted with a security camera...with stun rounds, of course :)


some of the stuff mike talked about was the fact that security guards
would be oriented to using stun weapons on any unauthorized persons...the
task would be to capture them and question them...but if the unauthorized
persons were to seriously maim or kill a guard, then all bets are off and
the guards will pull the heavy stuff...


another thing would be that security would be heavier on the outside of a
facility and less on the inside, since heavy security inside would serve
to impede the smooth flow of getting the job done for those that worked
there...


...mostly all common sense stuff...


and for those that were not at the seminar, mike's qualifications for
writing this sourcebook is that he works as a security management person...
