nah, if this was the military, that'd be twice as expensive and it would be 'top secret' of course
smart a$$

but you forget. For anyone to sell anything to the DOD, it has to have sufficient paperwork to document the part. When the B1B was built, the documentation (that no one EVER reads) weighed more than the plane.
True story: I worked at Hughes Aircraft in Tucson in the mid 80s. The DOD was pushing efficiency. Hold that thought. At the time, every item in the thingie being bought was priced out. Screws, bolts, it was stupid. Toss on the paperwork. So, back to efficiency - the Missile Systems Group where I worked made the Roland, the Phoenix, the TOW, the Maverick and were starting on the AMRAAM. There were some other projects I won't comment on.
In the end, a screw is a screw. But HAC was legally required to purchase the screw as specified by contract. We could not buy the perfectly acceptable screw that was 0.01, no, we had to buy the $1.00 screw. If the buyer changed from the contract, the company was accused of product substitution. We simply could not save the government money. Now, we weren't saints, but this went on an on. But wait, it gets better.
So, to save $$, the DoD forced on us SAS (biggest abortion I have ever seen). So, SAS rolls out, looks at all the parts, screws and bolts ALL of the projects need and starts combining orders. So, 5 missile systems use one screw that costs one cent. But according to contract, they each have to be charged differently. Worse, SAS might order parts (screws) that aren't to contract terms. Product substitution lawsuit. And this happened.
The problem is the beauacracy and the idiots that have no idea what they are doing. This goes from E8 all the way to 5 stars. You lose track of the mission, people die. When it's not dangerous, you get lazy.
