It doesn't extend to all public-facing government service jobs.

A friend of mine is a social worker with the county, dealing with people's aid - food stamps, welfare, etc. He has to deny people benefits multiple times every day. This morning, one of his co-workers denied food stamps to someone. That person went outside, got a rock, came back in, and hit the social worker in the head with it, sending her to the hospital.

Won't be seeing "Support our social workers!" stickers at the Wal-Mart anytime soon.
