I was referring to the fact they can't choose not to have the balloons float above their territories.

I do think the concept of Project Loon is amazing, though.

I'm assuming that the major risk with Loon is NSA "upstream collection" once you connect to it, and the danger of passive radio surveillance by Loon will be limited and/or duplicate capabilities which the US government already has. I could be certainly be wrong about that though.
