What's a few million here, a few billion there in the name of national
security? Money hasn't stopped the Department of Homeland Security
implement far more stupider things in the past. No, I don't think
money is the issue here, what the issue here is, is ironing out the
details to make this whole thing workable and effective, and getting
cross-government, cross-sector cooperation with rolling the scheme out
and it be made an industry standard that everyone is agreed upon. That
is the real challenge that faces us, not how much money its going to
cost. We can talk about the money later, let's just get the proposal
details worked out and put on the table first and see if its got a
chance for any funding.
