I wonder what the actual out of pocket cost for the military is. Are the planes used sitting idle otherwise? What's the added cost of sending ships to a different location? They are out there anyway. For sure the sonar equipment is out of pocket, as are a lot of the search and rescue vessels/aircraft. I assume all military are paid $X per year, regardless of what they do?
This seems like a good place for 'adventurers' to post a bond. If you need to be rescued, the bond pays for those costs. Unfortunately, I think they were in international waters, so not laws from either Canada or USA apply.
