It is or it isn't?

So is it a Security System? Or isn't it a Security System?

After meeting with Xfinity®, prior to litigation on the matter, the Massachusetts Attorney General's office surprisingly announced that the "Xfinity® Home Security System" was not actually a security system.

(The Attorney General's language: "the Xfinity® system does not constitute a security system.")

Xfinity®/Comcast® however, continues to call it a Security System on their web site, commercials, etc.

It's not clear if the Xfinity® "security" system is so significantly inferior that Massachusetts won't even recognize it as a security system, or maybe Xfinity®/Comcast® provided some other reason for the attorney general to interpret what obviously is a security system, as somehow not a security system.

What is clear, Xfinity®/Comcast® in reality, is installing a security system that is discordantly defined as "not a security system".

This exempts them from the existing state requirements for electrical licenses, and criminal background checks to install "security systems".

Electrical licenses and criminal background checks are public safety requirements in place to assure competent non felon professionals on your property, handling your security in compliance with Massachusetts law and codes.

Xfinity®/Comcast®, or any company that wishes to comply with state licensing, must certify 100 percent competent, non felon technicians as well as code compliant systems and installation.

To hold the required state licenses, many companies and contractors in Massachusetts endure the cost and efforts to follow these rules... Why the pardon for Xfinity/Comcast®?
