Schemes and Dreams

I was thinking about Octavia a little more over breakfast. I feel like her anger at Thorne over the paparazzi is her feelings of security as a woman and a mother. Thorne isn't thinking about how his allowing photographers onto their property endangers his wife and son but she is. In a world of obsessed fans, one wrong snap and there is now a picture in a newspaper or on tv that shows their house and the security around it to a fan who can exploit it for all sorts of bad things. For that matter what does he know about those paparazzi? I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I believe they are freelancers and don't work under contract, so there is no background checks. That paparazzi may be a predator, or have a history of simple assault, or be a thief. How does he know he isn't allowing a dangerous person access? She pointed that out and it made him angry. Thorne is an uber macho guy so he doesn't worry about his safety or his family's as much as he should. He's more worried about self promotion and thinks her worrying about security is one of her ways of overreacting to everything.
