The fact that people believe this tells me the lot of them have never participated in a single second of manual labour. You go drag a box cutter 10 feet across a similar surface and tell me what that blade looks like haha.

    350 ft. is no joke. I think someone would have to be on their hands and knees dragging that knife across a distance longer that the Statue of Liberty is tall (by 49 ft.)!

    If only someone had a graphic made comparing the statue of Liberty and the reflecting pool side by side then I'd truly understand the scale!

    Well, if it helps, the Eiffel Tower is almost 109 elephants tall and the slit is about a third of the height of the Eiffel Tower...so approximately 36 elephants tall in length. Does that help?

    It would take an hour or more even if the blade didn't get dulled which it would immediately as you say, and be totally obvious.

    The national mall is crawling with LE and cameras. You can't even set a backpack down without them swarming on it like it's an ied.
