There is a moment in the book where Mr. Travis, who works as a safari guide at the company, says that Time Safari, Inc., is a "finicky business." This is not far from the truth. Time Safari, Inc., is a company that enables people to go back in time via a time machine and hunt dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals for recreational purposes. They operate under one condition: all hunters must obey the guide; if they don't, they will pay $10,000 as punishment, which is a suspicious thing in itself.
Considering that the government doesn't support the company—as they fear that the hunters might alter the timeline if they touch anything or accidentally/purposefully disobey the rules—I believe it's safe to assume that Time Safari, Inc., runs a "finicky" business. In fact, I'd even go as far as to describe their business as dangerous and potentially risky.
