Power of ten? Get a grip! My search only revealed five instances where
I referenced my own security credentials. Most of these were in this
very thread on "group based judgments" arguing with people like you.
They all were in response to prior mentions of what "security
professionals" are doing or should be doing in response to terrorism. I
never brought up the topic on my own.

What is even more confusing is the fact that you have posted to complain
about or spoof my security credentials more often than I ever referenced
them in the first place. You actually bring them up more often then I
do. You even start threads just to discuss my security credentials.
