This increase is in no way related to the "hammer"/
"potty lid" charges back around 1970. Those
prices were the result of overzealous application
of MIL-STD-810B. Problem was solved around
1975.

You chaps are looking under the
wrong rock here.
With the potential of a large increase
in orders for use on the "Wall", this
is just the precursor to justify the
prices that will be charged to the
government.

## Bingo, u just nailed it. Trumps 10 billion dollar wall, will
no doubt consist of a lot of security cameras etc, on tower
platforms. This is no different than the $500.00 hammers
from the 70s. Funny how business can make a killing, on
govt contracts.
