This is a normal post A lot gets spent on background checks so the security is actually secure.

This is a normal post and counting.
it's slowed down now though, to only about $500 a minute. It was about $2k a minute yesterday. It's got a few more weeks to run though.

Which kinda puts it in perspective.
