no, I have always been low risk, per se. But if I followed the form to the letter, and always chose a path of lowest risk, I would not be working there. I would not be driving on roads in NM, and I would never leave the house. You can't judge every action as a least-risk choice, because some paths you must take, so you choose the least risky while still taking that path. It is risky working for the DoD, so if I chose the least risky choice always, I would have to change jobs. Driving in NM is risky, and it is safer to lock yourself in a house than to leave it. The new rules make the old risk analysis look much harder, but in application you can't just always "choose the safest route" by selecting the lowest score of all your choices. You do the best you can, with the choices you must make.
