A new app called Protector, which allows users to hire armed security guards on-demand, has gained rapid popularity following the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The app, likened to an "Uber for armed guards," enables users to book security personnel through a mobile platform. Its marketing highlights the guards' backgrounds in SWAT teams and military deployments, and it references the assassination to emphasize the app's potential to prevent such incidents. The app has climbed to the #7 spot in Apple's Travel category but is not yet available on Android. Protector's creator, Sarath, also offers a neighborhood security service called Patrol, which allows communities to pool resources for private security. The app's emergence has sparked debate about the role of private security in an increasingly unstable society.
