You would think with $10B, they would be able to afford something other than duct tape to secure it. Hmm. Although, maybe that's military grade duct tape.

That's no doubt NATO Standard Duct Tape which will have been sold to the MoD for £75 a roll.

Well, it's only the Great British Taxpayer who'll pay for it.

That's not Duct tape, that's the plastic stuff you peel off your phone screen, bubble wrap, and fiberglass reinforced clear packing tape. OK, it's fibreglass I guess.

The cost is probably in the creative design.
You see, the grey matches the rest of the room's decor.
