"I do not remember who said..."

"they said..."

"This was reported..."

Pffffft. Silly anon. I make a simple request:

 >>Cite a trustworthy source of such a "report".

It's not limited to R&D. And it's not the paperwork that a person signs, 
it's the security clearance they possess that protects such information. 
  And while violating one's clearance would subject them to potentially 
serious penalties, the nature of the violation would have to be quite 
egregious to rise to the level of Treason.

You are so phenomenally ignorant of missile technology that it's 
laughable. Actually, it's not the ignorance that's laughable, it's your 
pretentiousness in supposing yourself in any way knowledgeable enough in 
this area to go into a public forum--albeit using your silly 
pseudonym--and declaim upon matters of which every word demonstrates 
your ignorance.

I give you points for chutzpah, not many are willing to publicly 
proclaim their ignorance with such verve and vigor!
