We've had this discussion before :-).
Even if the core system is cost effective, and it's by no means sure
that it would be in a genuinely free market, the rotating squads of
marines, the rapid response tactical team on permanent standby,
amortization on the black helicopters, and the ongoing covert
surveillance, makes it decidedly economically unattractive. And even
the softball sized thingy assumes an unimaginable attraction for some.
Especially if you can acquire a number of them.
