I'll pipe in with this:
No amount of money can deter a determined entity. If there is a will,
there is a way, etc. Want to protect your "outside" plant, then make
it resilient network-wise. There use to be a time when dual paths
was acceptable, I (personally) think that quad paths should be the
norm.
