Killing someone is always trivial. That's not the sticking point. The sticking point is making it look like an accident or natural death and failing that, not getting caught. That's where the exploding number of people who need to be paid off comes into play.
And we’re back to… one or two people… Maybe a few suppliers for the virus/drugs/whatever. But that can be obtained in places that don’t ask too many questions, and Boeing has the resources to do that. They don’t even need to be black market.
You also have to pay off or kill any witnesses; anybody involved in security; the smugglers that transported the stuff without the FBI, NSA, and CIA tracking a bio attack; the people from the places fun things like MRSA went missing from; their security and witnesses; etc.
There's a reason the go to is knife the guy in the alley and take their credit cards and ID. That's one person. If there was a plot to kill this guy it's right up there with the movie Burn After Reading.
Now you're an expert in killing people? Lol
You're making this hard for me. Do I continue giving you sarcastic answers knowing you're just going to go back to grade school insults? Or do I tell you some of my personal history and give up some privacy?
Eh, fuck it, it's already out there. I was in the part of the Army we pay to kill people. So yeah we thought about that quite a lot and got a chance to put our thoughts into action too.
Also, if you're going to keep trying to insult me I'm going to insist you at least kiss me first.
Ok kiddo. Absolutely. Whatever you make up, sounds cool.
Hey where's my kiss?!?
It's on my ass.
Hold on let me get the lube.
