So then let me ask this - is admitting there are physiological differences between a man and a woman chauvenistic? I think not. There are just some things men can do naturally that women can't.
Physical fitness and ability should play a role in these types of jobs. Safety depends on it. One set of standards, determined based on the needs of the job duties should be all that it takes. If you can meet them, then you'rw a cop/guard. If you can't, you're not.
But I know that will never, ever happen.
(oh - BTW I do agree with your comments about the number of guards.)
