Scheduled performances in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago were cancelled, said chief exec Avi Shoshani, because the orchestra could not find a security firm willing to "take the risk" of guarding such a tempting terrorist target. Isn't taking a risk part of the security guard's job description?
