Yeah. Yeah, and we're seeing the results of all that. Scott, how are authorities addressing this rising fear, especially with social media? Which social media can be great, but in this case, it's helping to spread things. Yeah, a lot of this comes down to police response. They have to go on all these calls. They have to go to the door if somebody gets swatted. They have to go to the church, to the HBCU, to the high school, if there's a bomb threat. Some of this is educational. Some of this is talking to youth or those who may be inclined to for years commit these hoaxes. But a lot of this goes back to the political world, where there's this urging of political leaders to try to encourage supporters to tamp down the rhetoric. I think the governor of Utah has been doing that with each platform he gets, as he discusses the investigation of the shooting. There's a sense from law enforcement, they'd like other political leaders to take time, bandwidth, and the opportunity to do the same.
