I fly aeroplanes on different mission types for example, where there is a self-selecting force for sloppy risk management. It's really great.

If you worked in the public sector, particularly one charged with public safety, you would know that every action done is in line with procedures that follow very specific steps. Someone has already done the risk calculations and this was the best course of action accordingly.

Yes I work in the public sector and I am acutely aware how incompetently this is done. Safety is too important for this short-sightedness, in my operational opinion.

Well, I hope you are available to consult for the police in the future then, to reduce the short-sightedness.

I still have no idea why we are talking about the police. Police are not trained in risk management to any significant extent, if that's what you mean. Calculating risk starts in an undergrad statistics classroom.

We're talking about the police because you and @phil4change thought making fun of their decision to be cautious in the event of a bomb threat at the airport last night was a good idea.

No, I didn't. Someone else criticised police for <reason> and I made a comment on the catalyst for that reasoning. Again, I have no idea if that reason is itself correct, nor any opinion on the actions of the police in this case specifically. This distinction is very important.

Your comment served the purpose of encouraging him. You joined in the criticism. Don't try and wriggle out of that one.
