Anarchy is safety because it allows everyone to make their own provision for their security needs, they will do so to the extent that they feel necessary. The State intervenes in this activity and prevents voluntary "vigilante" groups from providing security. They are the monopoly provider of security services and as such face no competition. They make it illegal to do what people naturally do, and that is to protect themselves...
They are a security risk because they are not directly responsible (individually) for their actions. Their position allows them to claim that they are acting on behalf of the electorate, rather than acting personally. This allows (results in) people being much more reckless with security concerns, since they know they are protected from the consequences of their actions (to a degree) by the fact that they apparently act for a great many people. It is easier for them to get away with reckless behaviour.
Statism subverts the normal rules of "nature" by laying down restrictions on our impulsive (instinctive) behaviour, we are asked to pay attention to "the law" beyond what we would do instinctively. Even if it "feels" right, we are told not to do it for the fact that it is illegal...
People will solve a threat to their own security without encouragement, provided to do so is not made illegal. Since the State has the capacity only to punish and condemn, the state solution can never be the peaceful solution...
