Comments on: Save Taxpayers $328,301, Prevent Nationwide WTF!? Yes We Can! http://blogging.la/2009/04/30/save-taxpayers-328301-prevent-nationwide-wtf-yes-we-can/ Lizard people dude. Seriously.

This is the government we're talking about. By the time they're done requesting special hack-proof high-security modifications to the software, that $700 program will cost at least $1,847,953.37. Give or take. Then they'll have to requisition a special cross-platform, multi-departmental computer system to run it one, which will add another $20 million or so to the tab. Then you've got to figure on at least a couple years to find someone who can pass security clearance and doesn't have any tax liability issues, not to mention training time on that highly-specialized government software. Trust me, once you get the government involved, that $328,000 is going to seem like a real bargain. Are you kidding? This is the government we’re talking about.

Now you shoulda 'shopped the plane into an LA skyscape and proven your point. Photoshop however is an interesting idea,but to explore it with a committee would cost us more than the stunt itself.

But I also think that it's friggen dumb to see a low flying plane followed by a air force jet and immediately ASSUME it's a terrorist plot.

The money for these flights would have spent anyway. Not making it a photo op wouldn't have necessarily saved taxpayers anything. 2. If it had been photoshopped, people would complain about the government staging a fake. I really don't want the government faking photos for any purpose whatsoever, even to sell postcards.
