not saying it may happen in small enclaves where it's cool and somewhat practical, there are more places where it simply can't happen than can, anywhere near airports, stadiums, downtowns, urban areas. otherwise, it's a marketing gimmick, just like the nazi insignia on the subway amazon prime recently did.

and for me, the noise is outrageous. so annoying. it's like a gnat buzzing around your ear, and that's when it's 50 yards away.
