So somebody could put a large amount of small washers in orbit and cause havoc with all the satellite surveillance systems?

If by 'large amount' you mean tens to hundreds of thousands, maybe. You'd need a pretty fancy washer launcher to shoot them every which direction to slightly change their orbit from yours.. I'm talking a really big gun to significantly spread their orbits around, then yea, maybe. And by big gun, I mean shooting these washers at 2-3x faster than the Barrett .50 is firing at.
