It's a bit surprising not to see the military on this list. According to [0] the US military has 82 deaths per 100,000 per year, around 55 of which are from "accidents" and "combat" which could reasonably be considered work-related deaths. That would put it in third or fourth place on the most dangerous list.

Probably not captured under Bureau of Labor Statistics. Either military is completely excluded, or excludes ex-US.
Being on base in the USA is probably pretty safe, with a healthier than average population.

I suspect that BLS doesn't collect statistics on sex workers or the military (or they're not included on this list). There are probably a few other very dangerous jobs that are similarly omitted.

Not all policing is equal. Beat cop in Chicago or Sheriff of Methville is on a whole different level than TSA. Park Rangers are probably much higher risk than your average TSA employee because the routinely work alone and often are put in a situation where they have to tell a bunch of drunk people to stop partying.
For what is pays and the educational requirements policing is a very safe job.

Firefighters and Security guards are not in top 25.
