    Here's what a couple of other people on Usenet (uk.misc) had to say
    regarding the cost of running such an operation...

    PO: >Have some sense, grow up and smell reality. What you are talking about
    PO: >would take loads of planning, tens of thousands of pounds and lots of
    PO: >people involved in the planning, execution and maintenance of it. You
    PO: >must have a very high opinion of yourself to think you are worth it.

    PM: >But why? And why you? Do you realize how much it would cost to keep
    PM: >one person under continuous surveillance for five years? Think about
    PM: >all the man/hours. Say they _just_ allocated a two man team and a
    PM: >supervisor. OK., Supervisor's salary, say, #30,000 a year. Two men,
    PM: >#20,000 a year each. But they'd need to work in shifts -- so it would
    PM: >be six men at #20,000 (which with on-costs would work out at more like
    PM: >#30,000 to the employer.)
    PM: >
    PM: >So, we're talking #30,000 x 6. #180,000. plus say, #40,000 for the
    PM: >supervisor. #220,000. Then you've got the hardware involved. And
    PM: >any transcription that needs doing. You don't think the 'Big Boss'
    PM: >would listen to hours and hours of tapes, do you.
    PM: >
    PM: >So, all in all, you couldn't actually do the job for much less than
    PM: >a quarter million a year. Over five years. What are you doing that makes
    PM: >it worth the while of the state to spend over one and a quarter million
    PM: >on you?

    Those are pretty much the sort of calculations that went through my head
    once I stopped to consider what it must be costing them to run this
    operation. The partial answer is, there have been periods when the
    intensity has been greater, and times when little has happened. In fact,
    for much of 1993 and the first half of 1994, very little happened. Although
    I don't think that was for reasons of money - if they can tap into the
    taxpayer they're not going to be short of resources, are they?

    The more complete answer is in the enormity of what they're doing. Relative
    to the cost to British pride of seeing their country humiliated for the
    persecution of their own citizens, isn't is worth the cost of four or five
    people to try to bring things to a close in the manner they would wish? To
    the government a million or two is quite honestly nothing - if they can
    convince themselves of the necessity of what they're doing, resources will
    not be the limiting factor.
