I'm not surprised, often the government has technology that is 10 years or more ahead of what is available to the public. I remember my dad describing bar-code scanners that the military was using for inventory way back in the late 1960’s, about fifteen years before they started appearing in stores.

I know someone who until recently was high up in security at the labs. Most questions about what he did or what he saw get met with nothing more than an icy stare. When I started asking about specific projects I have heard of he said, “Take what you think we have and add about 100 years.”
