Since 2005, maintaining the machines has cost the government more than $6 million.

4 years, all those airports and machines,,

6 million sounds cheap to me. IF they work at all, and IF they’ve picked up stuff, 1.25 million a year to maintain is peanuts, imho

IF is the key here. My understanding is that the failure rate was unacceptable.
