See that's what I was trying to say... it did start in FD's camp, right??
I'm starting to feel crazy over here and threads move so fast, it's hard to keep up.
If I was saying someone has protection, I'd say just that "yes they have security"... I wouldn't go out of my way to say armed guard, it's so dramatic, great for newspapers though. But like I said in my previous reply, maybe this is just a cultural difference and "armed guards" (the saying) are completely normal in USA... in which case I apologize.
