You have to look at things in a six sigma/theory of constraints kind of way, because that's how the government does its budgeting. Get the hourly wage of the police and/or outside parties that are now protecting the sites and add them up. Compare it with the cost of keeping the few people who were employed to be "security" to begin with. Any excess is waste, with the added waste of work these police/people could be doing otherwise...
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
