"Anyone see a problem with this?"

Nope - it's typical Cold War Propaganda - some people have the agenda to reignite Cold War, Nuke threats, etc...

If this is the same anonymous looney by just another name who had no understanding of Science or Engineering before, citing from similar mostly unsubstantiated looney fringe sources as before, well it certainly makes a good SF story... reminds me of the Goof Ol' Flying Saucer Nuts...

Of none of what I said means that it can't happen, unfortunately...

Just ask Dr Haneef what Little Fascist Johnny and his mad mates did recently...

Very little difference between their current behaviour and what happened in Germany in 1933... when the government overruled the courts granting bail to 'suspects' to lock people up again using 'Leglislated Ministerial Powers'... and of course the 'evidence' was
all faulty lying BS...
