>well-after-the-fact missile trail detection.

Sorry, I missed that bit, I thought this could also be used to detect incoming missiles.

I do not want my enemies to be able to detect incoming missiles.

Sorry for posting so angrily.

To do anything about incoming missiles, you'd need extremely low latency tracking, integrated into whatever system you're using anyway. Not sure exactly you'd be worried about even if this was near-real-time.
You could probably use techniques like this to rig an early warning system on enemy territory, but there are of course better options.
Wild! I don't think I've ever seen someone who thinks restricting tech like this is actually a good idea. I thought that was just like, crazy government people who don't understand technology.

I'd hoped we'd moved past printing the entire code of PGP in a hardback book in an OCR font but I guess y'all still out here.

I literally had a bronze bust of JFK on my desk on k street.

I’m not a government type unless I’m calling people my long haired opponent ala Hunter S Thompson running for mayor
