The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized

I’ve been writing about, among other things, safety these past couple weeks.
I have to admit that I found the comments challenging — much protest against the notion of safety, of security, and not so much definition of what security and safety really mean.
As a writer, those challenges made me take a second look at what I was writing and expanded my view. As a result, I’ve come to some conclusions on the subject which I would like to share for anyone who is interested.
