Fred will just declare this some isolated incident and still expect handlers to be security officers too. He's too cheap to do anything else.

Absolutely. I’m so glad I was able to get away from there.

He had a big gun. I worked at a FedEx ramp. The security guards they had there would be no match for anyone walking in the door with a gun intent on shooting people.

At least the security guards would have access to ummm. I don't know, a PHONE perhaps. I hear those things come in handy in an emergency. Sometimes you dont have to be a match, just a deterrent.

I’ve always laughed at the security policy (at my station anyway) to challenge anyone trying to get in our gate or into the warehouse part of our building.
Hell, the police officer that was killed at the Boulder, CO grocery store last month was armed and trained in these kinds of situations. What’s an unarmed courier or handler gonna do?

Was leaving the station one morning when a car zoomed through the gate right in front of me. I backed up to where he parked and asked him who he was and why he came through our gate so fast. Turned out he was our region's corporate security officer. Started critiquing how I handled the situation. Said I was too gruff. I told him anyone driving like that and delaying me getting on road was going to be talked to in a gruff voice. He then asked for my name but I never heard anything else. I decided right then I would just go to the mgr.

Exactly. Here, let me go up to this person I don't know, who could have a knife, a gun or a bomb. The company says I have to. I enjoy getting stabbed, shot or blown up.
Nah, I'll find a phone and call a manager and stay a nice distance away.
OK, stand behind my van.

My thoughts exactly. We have no fence around our building because the SM doesn’t want to cough up the money. Our warehouse doors are open more than they’re closed. If our building security isn’t important to FedEx, why should I put my life on the line? I’ll do like you and call a manager.

the news said he never got past security so I guess he was in the parking lot
We have fence and use code for the gate and doors but those garage doors are open a lot and they have to be in summer or you die from the heat,no ac in sort area of course.you can climb the chain link fence ,no barbed wire.if anyone wanted to bring a gun to work they can. If they decided to check everybody coming in to bldg that would take forever.

It’s not too tough for anyone to enter my station. Especially during sorts. I’ll bet that security is ample at HQ in Collierville.
