Now, how about a team around the level of Rangers or SEALs? Nice and quiet
when they need to be. Top-level equipment and training. I'm not talking
about sending tanks through Seattle, here. To do that would be insane. But
a team like I am talking about would most likely do the job without a trace
and come back all in one piece. Cost? You pay their salaries to do just
what they did, but maybe you could throw them a bonus for a job well done.
Incidental damage will be in the unnoticeable to minimal range.
