Akal Security, the largest judicial security contractor in the United States, has been awarded at least $3.5 billion in Federal contracts since the year 2000, and its clients include the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the Department of Defense. Akal Security started out in 1980 as a small company that hired only Yogi Bhajan group members. Today, Akal Security earns an estimated $500 million annually and employs over 15,000 persons, most of whom are not members of the group. According to the company's website, Akal guards provide security for 26 Army and Air Force bases and installations. They are guarding our country's major airports, our busiest public transportation systems, and major corporate and commercial interests.
