Theological note: This is an administrative measure about the diligence and accountability of those entrusted with protecting public buildings and the people in them. Scripture's concern for faithful stewardship and honest service bears on it, as does general equity in holding contractors to competent performance. It does not address a named moral evil, and it raises no direct question of justice or harm that would warrant a stronger moral verdict.
