From what I understand, the military will be operating them on bases and/or secure facilities for ordinary people until the Earth Alliance and/or whitehats feel there is no need for the high degree of security. They are worried they will be spirited away by deep state and/or their minions if they are not protected in the beginning. I image over time, the prices will come down where ordinary people can afford them and I believe they will be distributed in more locations without the need for high security after some time.
