World safest helicopter

Just in case Obama hadn’t enough problems with his Blackberry, here comes another one: his chopper.

Take a military helicopter. Name it in a fancy and important way, let’s say, Marine One. Give the project a lot of money. Give back the first draws to the designing lines. Double the budget. Take the next model. Increase again the budget by adding some extras -don’t forget the plush carpeting. Now, an only unit (and they are 28 in total) should cost as much as an Air Force One (who also has its own problems). Face then your old enemies that, now that they won't enjoy it, want the budget reduced. Double-check the extras. Go on against all odds.

And all this for what?

Just to find the blueprints of your super-secret-ultra-safe-mega-advanced chopper in the hands of the Iranians.
