Comment Re:So? - Compensation (Score 1) 120

Note that this is listed as compensation received by Bezos. If this were security while he were conducting company business, it would not be considered compensation, and would not need to be linked to him. This explains the "in addition to security arrangements provided at business facilities and for business travel". The money is most likely paid to him to compensate him for his personal security expenses, such as the security at his residence.

However, this doesn't mean that the payment is somehow inappropriate, as the summary seems to imply. Bezos' job gives him a very high profile, and the resultant security risks don't go away when he isn't conducting company business. It is quite likely that many other high profile executives are in a similar situation.
