Licensed to Kill (2006)
“—C. S. LEWIS, THE PROBLEM OF PAIN It’s impossible to get the attention of the waitress at the Dallas Convention Center. Buzz-cut, muscular men wearing tight-fitting golf shirts pack the tiny lounge tables, creating a forest of empty beer bottles and glasses all awaiting fresh refills. Dallas is hosting the ASIS (American Society for Industrial Security) convention, and the independent contractors, or ICs, as they call themselves, have come to network. The red glow of cigars illuminates discreet... discussions of potential mercenary and security work between wide-eyed amateurs and battle-hardened pros, many just back from Afghanistan or Iraq.
On the surface, ASIS is a dull security equipment and video camera convention, but it has become a social center for contractors, as well as a sprawling showcase for high-tech gizmos and for the providers of security services. It’s the summer of 2004, and this is the first ASIS conference to vividly demonstrate the impact the Iraq war has had on the security industry.MoreLess
