Security Engineering

Engineering: The art of organizing and directing men, and of controlling the forces and materials of nature for the benefit of the human race.

Architects and engineers are among the most fortunate of men since they build their own monuments with public consent, public approval and often public money.

Everywhere, when societies originate, we see the strongest, most warlike races seizing the exclusive government of the society.  Everywhere we see these races seizing a monopoly on security within certain more or less extensive boundaries, depending on their number and strength.And, this monopoly being, by its very nature, extraordinarily profitable, everywhere we see the races invested with the monopoly on security devoting themselves to bitter struggles, in order to add to the extent of their market, the number of their forced consumers, and hence the amount of their gains.
War has been the necessary and inevitable consequence of the establishment of a monopoly on security.
