The security guard aspect was less in my mind than the helpfulness

I don't believe it myself. In the unlikely event of a bunch of chav
scum starting a fight on a bus, I doubt the conductor would break it up.
Nor do I think that the chav scum would wait until they were off the
bus merely because there's a conductor on board.

But whether they actually make good security guards has no bearing on
whether people *think* they do. If people only thought that stuff that
was actually useful was indee useful, then we'd not have anything like
as many CCTV cameras.
