Perhaps I am raising the technology bar, way too high, but I have suspected, that there is some sort of nuclear phenomena, be it fission or fusion, that is usable for human civilization-some laboratory phenomena, that never got looked at, because with all the focus on carbon fuel, renewable, fission and fusion, there's no desire to hunt beyond the things we know already works. Why go out for dinner if you're already full? But this is my guess none the less-something that we all have missed, or considered impractical. or, there's no need. Just speculation on my part.

My definition of it is one in which the police can investigate and interrogate anyone at anytime on any suspicion without judicial warrant and enforce some political orthodoxy that in turn supports their power. It has nothing to do with having very tight security around some particular installation (like nuclear weapons plants and ICBM silos). It wouldn't even be useful in protecting LFTR powerplants. Are you sure we don't already live in a police state (or rather several) ? Certainly that appeared (to me at least) to be what GWB was aiming for, and I'm not sure BO has changed course. And of course the UK and NZ and others are eagerly following suit... But apart from that, I agree - we don't need a police state to keep fissionable material out of the wrong hands, we need good security - something the nuclear industry has, however, been somewhat lacking in historically.
