If I had a penny for every security guy who thought a government was out to kill him, I'd be a rich man. Paranoid drives that industry. :) It's rare but threats happen given the data and relationships a security officer of a public firm will be exposed too.

It doesn't take a genius to do a google search on your loud new immigrant and find a plethora of bad press, justice or injustice.

We more recently built mobile security software and worked closely with local & federal govts in US, and UK House of Lords. I also worked in international finance, security of our Brazil and Mexico teams were something we thought about often.
