Perhaps, although I'm not sure government accountants would agree with you. I do have a self-preservation instinct, though, but I do feel that mandatory use of hi-viz jackets at non-commercial airfields is over cautious and an unnecessary move. Health and Safety regs at work, I guess.
Not quite sure of the point of your second paragraph, but if we have full on infantry engagements and firefights on GA airfields, then we have bigger problems and you definitely won't catch me in a yellow vest!
