{{otheruses}} [[File:Flughafenkontrolle.jpg|thumb|[[X-ray]]s and [[metal detector]]s are used to control what is allowed to pass through an [[airport security]] perimeter]] [[File:Security spikes 1.jpg|thumb|Security spikes protect a [[gated community]] in the [[East End of London]]]] '''Security''' means to prevent dangers or losses. In general, security is similar to [[safety]]. The difference between the two is that security cares more than general safety about dangers from the outside. Airports and banks usually have a lot of security measures. [[Prison]] security is used mainly to stop [[prisoner]]s from escaping. It is also used to stop prisoners from harming prison [[employee]]s or other [[prisoner]]s. Maximum security is found in or around prisons or other types of places where people need to be kept in or kept out. It is the highest security level for a building or area. ==Related pages== * [[Law enforcement]] * [[Insurance]] * [[Hacking]] * [[Police]] ==References== {{reflist}} *Monahan, Torin, ed.
