Yes, I did. That's why I replied to it. If a site is worth 51 million,
then it is potentially worth 510 million or more. Is it worth it to have 50
million in security measures on a project potentially worth 10 times that?
Yes. Do you know what 50 million in security measures is? Would any runner
be stupid enough to try and get through 50 million nuyen worth of security?
