Yeah, literally NO ONE is going to try and justify a security failure if a terrorist attack occurred because "we were following EEO guidelines"
Too many have equated those in STAFF jackets working basic security with being a greeter at WalMart.
it is perfectly acceptable under EEO guidelines to have restrictions based on a critical job function.
The idea that security at the highest profile event in the US and one of the top 10 in the entire world (and that includes the Olympics and World Cup which don't occur every year) doesn't include actual, physical crowd control as a MANDATORY aspect of the job is...laughable.
I mean, if that ends up being the case, then that's a security hole that WILL be exploited. Heck, I could think of 10 ways off the top of my head wherein such a hole could lead to catastrophic outcomes. And I'm not that smart...
And I say this as a Service Connected Disabled Vet who had job accommodations when I was able to work. I fully agree that accommodations are very important. AND...not everyone can do every job. A paraplegic cannot be a firefighter. Just...can't. Patrolman... any combat MOS, sewer worker, almost any tradesperson, etc.
