Canis, great post.

If you have ever been hiking in Quechee Gorge, you will know that there is a sign at the top of the gorge under the bridge that notifies anyone that is heading down that the dam can and will be opened at any time. If you are caught down in the gorge after the horn blows and require rescue, you will be charged for the task of getting you out.

The folks that volunteer to search for missing persons in the backcountry, don't do it for money or fan fair. They are there for the sole purpose of using their experience to help another person. Most do not get paid, by anyone. But the organizations that they below to require some money to get people mobilized and equipment in the air or on the ground.
