In contrast, private security measures, such as those employed by Trump himself, demonstrate the effectiveness of market-based solutions. Trump’s private security detail, which includes trained professionals and advanced technology, has proven capable of responding quickly and effectively to threats. This highlights the importance of private security in supplementing or even replacing government-provided protection.
It looks like the private market still outshines anything the government can accomplish, even protecting candidate’s lives. How could we use this insight to provide services in other areas privately and efficiently?

The United States was used as an example, correct, so let's reflect. It is possible for the private sector to take over national security without state regulation. Ask yourself what would happen using the reality imposed today

The way things are today, no doubt there would be problems. Once the psychopaths are removed, there may be a whole different outcome. Sane people generally operate better than what we have now.

This is a horrible article and analysis. The Secret Service is stretched so thin they were using homeland security, not actual Secret Service to protect Trump in Butler, PA. There's no place for political violence in this nation, now tell that to those that commit 90% of the political violence, those on the extreme far right. From trying to kidnap Governor Whitmer, to Jan. 6th, 2021, to shooting up schools and grocery stores, I don't see any black people committing acts of political violence, do you?
Nonetheless, you have one side that joked and laughed when Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked in his own home by a Q-anon nuthead, one of those laughing was Don Jr. And you have the other side condemning the attempts on Trump's life even though his own rhetoric is what's causing people to attempt to harm him. Because one side understands that just because you may not like what someone says, and it may be completely untrue and vile, they still shouldn't be harmed for saying it.

The point of the article was that private agencies may be able to do the job better, not who is doing what to whom.
