ScottC, what are you talking about? Big money? Even if they purchased the most expensive F class return tickets, it only adds up to $20,000 to $40,000. Many of us routinely charge such amounts to our credit cards for travel. I certainly do.

I'm astounded by how little this operation cost. This was something easily within financial reach of a group of average income earners. That's what I find so frightening about it.
