Thanks!
Now, Mulder you stated
I would hope that people that are trusted enough to work at these places are armed to the teeth.
No at most, employees are fobidden to have any weapons, but at many of the places I end up going to security takes itself pretty seriously. I have been to one corrections center with its own firearms range and they are impressive. The security officers are generally not lawyer types.
