couple of plots one, with conor climo out in nevada and another one with elizabeth lekron out in toledo, ohio, where they have been used effectively, and had the effect of preventing really bad things before they were to happen. so, yes, i think that i definitely agree of it not being a gap in authority of taking action to either prosecute or prevent some of the acts before they happen. now, in terms of the risks, what some of the proposals in congress, and in particular representative schiff's proposal seeks to do is to add a number of predicate offenses to, what is attached a number of predicate offenses as to what is defined in statute as to domestic terrorism, and there are some, and i think that the elements that it potentially adds is that some are less damaging than other, and there is obviously murder. we would not have a huge objective to that, and there is also crimes that incorporate the things like property damage, and in light of recent, and i think that even historical impacts that law enforcement activity has had on protesters and dissenters and civil rights communities, and yo
