I've heard of similar policies at other companies. I think it's similarly
misguided.

It'a a little different. The companies are not protecting their
employees, they are protecting the =one= project that all [four] of
these [key] employees manage. It may still be silly, but it is different.

I worked for a company that had to ship the negatives for a film it was
making from overseas. They insisted on two separate flights, which IMHO
was dumb. Loss of =either= of the flights would have meant loss of the
project.
