> This seems strange as a major corporation should be able to provide security to protect against death threats. And it should be the exact same security it provides normally for any large employee gathering. "A large employee gathering" for a lot of companies happens every day in the office. How much security presence does the average office have, in your experience? In mine, the answer is not that much. I've never seen enough that I'd think the same level would be enough for death threats outside of things like defense contractors or military. Everywhere else it would be pretty easy to walk in, shoot the front desk people, take their badge, go anywhere in the building.

My current employer has armed security guards. It’s pretty big with over 10,000 people with each physical location having 1,000+. Guards check badges and vehicles. Before that I worked for a fortune 100 company and our regional office was in a shared office building that had receptionists and 1-2 armed guards who kind of roamed. They weren’t always visible but they were usually in the lobby. And I worked for startups they had no one at all and just a door with a key and then keycard scanner. I’ve visited google and Microsoft’s campuses and they have pretty strict security. So I think it’s a size and budget thing. It would be extremely difficult to walk into my employer, shoot the front desk people and take their badge.
