There may be as many as 200 undiscovered crash sites in the Sierra Nevada range, 6 of which have already been found in the search for Billionaire Steve Fossett. Before the search for Fossett, these sites (and the associated expense of their recovery) could easily be ignored. Now, each of these sites will need to be investigated at a great cost to tax payers.

I propose that Steve Fossett (or his estate) be responsible for not only the costs associated with his own search and, hopefully, rescue…but with the recovery efforts involved in ALL crash sites found during this search. In addition, he should be responsible for paying the families of any victims for funeral arrangements that arise from the recent discovery of their loved ones as this will be an unexpected expense stemming directly from his actions.

Beyond that, it seems reasonable that anything else that is discovered during the search like drug farms, missing persons, or evidence of sasquatch that will require further research or law-enforcement action also be included on that same bill to Mr. Fossett or his estate.

As a side note, I have already contacted the Civil Air Patrol in California and asked that if there is any evidence of sasquatch uncovered during this aerial search that I be contact immediately.
