        Actually I agree with you, though I'm one of them, half way around
    the world and earning lower wages. This whole thing just shows you that
    it is neccesary to have motivated and loyal employees and one way is to
    pay and treat them right even in some other parts of the world. In my
    case, I'm not in the security bussiness myself though I'm in the
    programming bussiness. I make now much less than I used to make back in
    the states in 97 and my quality of life is maybe a slightly better than
    that of someone in the US working part time in a fast food restaurant.

        If the people working for you think they should be pay more and be
    treated better, you'll have unmotivated employees and security-failure
    prone organizations. That's the deal: What you pay is what you get.
