And I'm not sure that's the best thing, but... It's also going into all kinds of science. One of the projects that I worked on a year ago, two years ago, that's going out this year is they're just going to chuck these boxes into various rivers around the country and be able to monitor the environmental DNA. So

They would know if an otter moved into this river before anybody could see if they were actually there yet.

And it's not just people in their houses. It's companies and businesses. UAVs, you need to know where you get your UAV from because some of them report back to their home countries. And that's kind of scary depending on what you're doing. If you're using it to take pictures of the beach, who cares? If you're using it to map your new mining prospect, I don't know if you care.
