Seeing as the plane with the hostages wasn't allowed to leave until after the 400mil in untraceable currency was received it would seem to be correct saying 100mil per hostage. Why couldn't we wait until they could accept a wire transfer bank to bank? I suggest it was due to a potential paper trail that could have slowed down the financing of terrorist who prefer hard currency over potentially traceable bank accounts which could be seized.
