I don't think you can throw enough people at the debris gathering job
to get it all. Here are two examples. One, is the encryption chip from
the space shuttle crash. It's out there, they looked, and came up
empty. We are talking ATVs patrols and on foot. Second would be the
cameras from Tom Mahood's A12 crash. The area was searched on foot and
by horse.

     What would this encryption chip have on it ? Access to secure channels ?
Those camera's - are we talking basic gun cameras or the "real" ones used
for intel ?  What is the oldest crash site you've sifted through ?

The USAF has gone to plowing over the spots and planting seed. But I
bet if you got a shovel you would still find debris. That F15 crash
site near Rachel is quite clean, but you can still see disturbed earth
and tire tracks.
