Just a note: When I started school as a 5 y.o we knew a guard he said it
wasn't secure as they were going to get rid of guards. Well I went
thruogh all 13 years of school, did 5 years in a bank, 5 years as a
guard and now am a driver. We still have guards. The new 4gt has guard
stations in them. I still think that there will be guards of some sort
in 10 years time.
