"chaotic good" - i like that, perfect.
The Odo thing, mentioned in earlier comments, well, Odo was a bit of a fascist so I can live with Lwaxana making him very uncomfortable.
Yeah, all security chiefs are practically fascist or hardcore, overbearing traditionalists in Star Trek (maybe except La'An). Why they choose to portray them that way? I think someone has a secret agenda. Edit: And admirals. Almost every admiral we see is in some way corrupt.
People who are drawn to positions like these are often conservative (I’m not saying facist), so it makes a lot of sense to me. In real life you can see that with the police and other security-centered jobs for example. And it makes a lot of sense, since these positions are about keeping things „in order“ which is a very fundamental conservative value if you think about it. So rather strict, inflexible security chiefs are very believable to me.
