Governor Pat Brown, Jerry's father, attempted to convert California defense contractors into civilian business during the 70s. The results were mostly ridiculous. The closest one to finding a market was Lockheed, I believe, that wanted to have something like a breathalyzer to work before you could turn on the ignition for your car. That was the best of the lot.
