This is an interesting article, and the phenomenon it describes is a sad sign
of the extent to which the upper classes increasingly see themselves as a
completely separate entity from the rest of their countrymen when it comes to
security issues. The article only addresses Brazil, where the situation is
quite marked, but a similar development can be seen in Argentina and Chile
to my best knowledge. Cheaper technologies for security are a big factor, of
course, and perhaps the most interesting aspect of this for the list.
