I really have to say that sometimes, (most of the time), I have opinions on lots of things nowadays, but keep them to myself at the risk of being "politically incorrect". That is truly "not me" but a result of what this world (country) has become. Just my two cents.

Exactly.

The man-hours and tremendous cost should have been
directed towards the REAL problems this country has.

Certainly not the first time our government has over reacted and needlessly spent more than necessary...... And won't be the last.
