In standard fashion, the poor guy at the end of the line got screwed because because some high-paid manager wouldn't approve a "discressionary" expence for the right tool.
I hope the guy goes to the ACLU or something and really stirs up a stink. The low end tracers are so cheap now, they probably paid him more in wages to make his own tool than they would have to buy one.

BTW, I am a lower level manager in a government facility.
