So I thought what we could do, first and foremost, is unpack some of the, the key findings in the recent NSPM and what legal implications you think we had that the administration had to weigh, uh, as they consider this N- NSPM.
1:30
Sure.
1:30
Uh, so first and foremost, I think it's important to talk about what the memorandum does and what it, what it doesn't do.
1:36
Uh, essentially, it tells private sector companies that they can conduct what is otherwise considered unauthorized access, as long as they're doing it as part of a law enforcement activity.
1:45
The challenge that they run into is that that characterization doesn't always work very clearly or cleanly, especially when you're targeting transnational criminal organizations.

But what does that look like? Give me something to put my arms around, Mike, when it says you talk about safety.
20:48
Yeah, for me, it's focusing on the individual first, especially in your workforce, making sure that when you're in those sites that all your good safety rules are being implemented, you're working in pairs, you have the necessary PPE, and you're moving and communicating as you should within that particular environment.
21:08
But like you said, there's a bunch of other types of safety.
21:12
Before the storm, we start talking about ways for people to keep their families safe, elevated positions.
21:19
We talk about evacuation when they're declared mandatory.
21:23
So there's a number of ways you can keep the community and your workforce safe.
21:27
You try to do all your community safety, of course.
