   It's definitely something you'd have to consider.  The whole notion of   
   doing a lot of flying around buildings may be a non-starter these days   
   based on the fears of terrorism alone.  You can even expect self-driving   
   cars to be used for nefarious purposes.  That's one of the big things a   
   lot of utopian sci-fi fails to understand.
