    The government’s undermined their own position to an extent by suggesting that they would go ahead and do the search if they were more assurred of success.

      Agreed 100% - it’s like arguing that the search magically becomes more safe if there was a guarantee that the victims would be found, which doesn’t make sense. The risk is the same regardless. (Well, I suppose if they make the findings right away without having to search the entire landfill, that might reduce the risk due to less overall exposure, but even with a guarantee there’s no reason to assume the findings would happen right away as opposed to at the very end of the three year time frame after most of the dump was searched).
