Interesting choice of words. In German, “security force” translates to “Sicherheitsdeinst.” They Germans actually had one. The Sicherheitsdeinst was the civilian arm of the SS (The military arm was the Waffen SS). These were the people who ran the concentration/death camps and subsumed the GeheimeStaatsPolitzei, the beloved secret police force known familiarly as the Gestapo.
I guess the more things change the more they really get different.

In Texas, I hope you can’t join the Civilian Security Force unless you bring your own rifle and horse!

In California you can’t join unless you bring your own bong – and enough to SHARE!
