A blindfold allows someone to be in close proximity to the person while also retain g visibility and communication with that person and other people (e.g. the driver).

If you lack out a special cabi area for a vehicle, either you are leaving them to their own devices in that area, or limiting the senses of your own staff you put in to watch them.

Finally, it's just a lot more expensive and cumbersome to have a large piece of machinery like that, and more likely to fail. What happens if the engine fails? Do you need a spare now? Using a blindfold as backup means that a blindfold is sufficient, so just use it and any vehicle now works.

> If you lack out a special cabi area

"if you black out a special cab area". :/

Is it just me, or does it feel like the SwiftKey keyboard for android has gotten much worse in its autocorrect in the last couple years?

Yeah that could be true.

I did a poor / vague job of describing that the blindfold was used inside buildings too. Folks walked with their hand on the shoulder of a guard in front of them from time to time.

Makes sense. That presumably means people don't have to turn their monitors off and shuffle everything off their desks every time an uncleared person has to move through.

IMO It's also probabbly something security can manage and adjust easily.

Like new a policy, fine leave the blindfold on longer.

Broken blindfold, just grab another.

But say truck with a broken blackout window ... can't go onsite.

How did I misspell "blindfolds" twice!
