Jeez. Ain't it enough she lost her husband?
Worse than that, she'll probably never know how,when or why without
closure. In my experience that sets folks up for some special kinda
suffering.

There's still the matter of the greater good. The state went
overboard looking for him, and that was very expensive. It's true
that they should have probably asked for her consent if they planned
to charge her for it.

Sure Fossett was wealthy but is my wife gonna get a bill for SAR if I
bail in the hills?

If it costs millions of dollars, maybe.

Joe Bob don't like it...nope not one little bit.

Be safe and nobody will have to search for you.

You are a total ****ing retard Anthony. Put your head back up your ass and
inhale. That's all you're good for.

If you remove the inhaling from the equation I'd agree.

The ****** gets off on ' There's still the matter of the greater

Stuff the 'greater good'

I'd like to know that if I ever went down the Search and Rescue would
come looking for me without regard for the beancounters

So you think that no cap should be placed on the amount of money spent to
search for you? And you believe that taxpayers in general should pay the
infinitely high bill?

Australia once spent $4million dollars rescuing a lone sailor in an
upturned boat off antarctica. We didnt bill him.
....of course that was when we had a decent government not the clueless
****** labor beancounters we have now.

A growing bureacracy always needs more money to pay for itself.

I remember that guy. Thing is, though I would like them to come for me,
how many deaths could they have prevented for that much money?
If oyu had 4,000,000 in your hand and you could save either one nutter
in a dinghy or save 1,000 from starvation...?

Four million dollars can save the lives of about 16 million children.

Since Nevada has never charged for SAR, even to the very wealthy, if
they are going to start charging they really ought to tell people and
with something along the lines of, "If SAR experience exceeds $X, the
lost individual, their family and or estate will be charged."

Perhaps charge on a sliding scale as a percentage of net worth. Net
worth to be multiplied by the number of Usenet postings perhaps....
