They have legitimate civilian use when it comes to a jet engine that might have 50 or 150 kilogram force of thrust, so it's a powerful system that you could say, oh, you know, well this is eccentric hobbyist equipment somewhere. Well, no, in my mind this is essentially a weapon. There is a large volume of this material that appears to be coming from China. The Chinese, of course, deny it. The companies in some instances say they can't control where this equipment ends up, and that is increasingly looking paper thin to me."
