This is pretty cool. So, where would you put your FAA registration number?

Doesn't need one. Like the USPS, doesn't require license plate.

In all reality these should only be flown outside FAA jurisdiction or in training on government facility.

I'm curious as to why. I am a cat-a-holic, so I'm used to dying out of curiosity.

Since they only weigh 30 grams the FAA has nothing to do with them. 250 grams yes but not these light weight mosquitoes

They are designed for RECON which has no business inside the US or territories plus the weight

Yes, but they don't do anything the Evo can't do. They are just more inconspicuous due to the size. They sound like my Tello does when flying, so you will definetly hear it flying when it's getting near you. They work great in a battleground since with all the noise it is easily hidden.

I agree completely

They're cool i'l give them that, I love the size and the silence, but short of that they can't do what most consumer drones can, although i bet they can do things not mentioned in the articles, they are made by flir after all. Even if they have built in flir and are tiny and silent, how do you justify a $40k price tag? You can tell right there that they're targeting the military as their main consumer.
