. there are a million reasons why cos. have their employees travel that go beyond what can be conveyed on a video screen.

Agreed. But there are still other 100 K instances where it is possible to do video conferencing rather than simple travel and still achieve the same results.
For example, Nortel has cut down travel expenses to a considerable extant and is still able to do business and maintain that revenue level, even if that is not growing.

So the point is where it can be and should be done by other means to achieve the same results, it will be done differently. Sort of a pro-active approach.

the expenses take place bars and [leave it to your imagination}.

I too have to keep that to my imagination.

if crime fears lead someone to move to a "gated community" or spend 100K to build a brick wall around their house to replace their picket fence, that is an incremental cost

Now the question is how far a company is going to go on this one as far as security goes. Do you make it man-made disaster proof or just operate the business in good faith leaving up to to government to figure that out.
