: And the temperature is probably a little warmer there. I wanted to ask one on DRT. You talked about -- so revenue growth, 36% year-over-year.
You talked about some sustainability of that. And "heightened threat alert" makes us all kind of come back to this as an important topic and realize

Can you just talk a little bit -- just give us a little bit of an update on DRT -- on sensing demand must be great, but this is a human resources business
at the end of the day. Give us just an update on how things are going with respect to growth with respect to ability to staff, things like that.

you think you're more optimistic about now? Just it's a new product, right so any updates there would be helpful for us?
Question: Gregory William MacDonald - LodeRock Research Inc. - Analyst
