Tron and US National Security

Tron
27-years after being released by Disney, the scifi movie Tron, is coming under the guns of the US Homeland Security department. The film, part of which was shot at the Shiva nuclear fusion research facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is what the US government is interested in. The government contends that the film contains scenes which disclose sensitive nuclear information -- never mind the fact that the Shiva facility was dismantled in 1981. Using the Patriot Act, Homeland Security dweebs have sent out National Security Letters to Disney and video retailers across the country, requesting any and all copies of the film, in every form, to be sent to them.

Yes folks, if it wasn't evident before, it certainly is now: the US Homeland Security department has lost their collective fucking minds.
