As a security professional, it is crucial that you maintain control and poise each day. By doing so, you command authority and build trust. With that said, the interviewer knows that everyone has their threshold, and no day in the security industry is the same.
Provide an example of what may cause you to become upset but assure the hiring authority that you would never lose your temper at work. You can mention any techniques and tricks that you apply to ensure an even-keeled temperament.

"I have seen other security professionals lose their temper, and it always seems highly unprofessional. I have never lost my temper on the job because I feel that the better way to command respect is to be collected and poised. If I were to lose my temper on the job, it would have to be in the midst of a very high-stress, aggressive situation where I am in a corner, and safety threats were present; whether against me or anyone else."

"I cannot think of a scenario where I would lose my cool on the job. With that said; I have zero tolerance for violence or threats against other people. If faced with a situation of violence, I would use full force to stop the situation. Typically, I have a very calm and collected personality. If I feel my blood pressure rising, I remind myself that the most emotional person in any given situation is most likely to lose. This reminder keeps me in check."
