With "regular" grass you have to be careful using Roundup since it will kill the grass. Roundup is still used, but it is used sparingly. When the grass is glyphosate-tolerant there will be less concern about overuse of Roundup. If my neighbor's application stays on their property - great. However, if they spray heavily since it won't hurt their grass then the overspray may wind up on my property where it WILL hurt my grass (and other plants).
Someone who used to live near a farm told me about his experience catching overspray from the farmer who had glyphosate-tolerant crops.

Glyphosate does not pass through the skin barrier. So no worries as long as you don't graze on your lawn.
Farmers are a different story since exposure is via the digestive track.
