No, Marc's right - SHADO doesn't actually make economic sense. In
reality, we often place a value on human life. For example,
thousands of people die on the roads every year, and many more than
are abducted or mutilated by aliens in the UFO universe could be
saved by spending a fraction of SHADO's budget on safer transport
infrastructure.
