The scariest part - from the article, elected government officials lend credibility:

The Church of Scientology opened its new National Affairs Office in Washington, D.C., in a ceremony led by David Miscavige. Joining him in this dedication were Members of U.S. Congress Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) and Danny Davis (D-IL); as well as Liz Gibson, Senior Program Manager, Federal Emergency Management Agency.

I can't speak to the others but I live just outside Jackson-Lee's district. That woman is certifiably insane with or without appearing at a Scientology event. She thinks Neil Armstrong went to Mars and that Venezuela is a friendly nation.

She'll do anything to get on camera—I doubt she can even spell "Scientology."

That's what a nice, fat campaign contribution will due for you. :(
