I recall, while doing work in cloud physics, we had a still in the lab
for producing distilled water for use in experiments.  The still was
registered and we had a license taped to the wall beside the unit.  The
objective was so that inspectors could make sure that we weren't putting
fermented corn rather than tapwater in the boiler.  I'm sure others can
point to similar restrictions put on potentially "dangerous" objects.

Other than it's a simple fact?
