@piedpiper Before I respond, I want to clarify I am not trying to be argumentative. I see that you all have valid points. I am just interested in your potential solutions.

Now, in response to suggesting private securities and insurance companies will be willing to take on a billion dollar entity, I would like to question that suggestion by pointing to the fact that a settlement check to the family may be far cheaper than taking on a $32 billion dollar entity, especially when all of the insurance and private security firms will be individually less wealthy. With less wealth comes less resources. A thousand crowd-sourced guns will not overpower one bomb. (Probably not the best example, but just wanted to illustrate the point.)

In my experience, calculating risk is all about accounting for the worst case scenario. So, I would be interested in how private security firms and insurance companies would be willing to go to war over one individual life. Just like the United State Seals are willing to do.
