...or you can say
they take their jobs very seriously. Calling them paranoid is somewhat bad taste. They do a very complex and difficult job, and not to mention very tiring, day-in and day-out by ensuring our safety.
If you are one of them the last thing you want is a bomb slipping thru your security cordon and actually making it on the plane and detonates. That would be a very sad day...
