I think it works like this:

If the invention (whatever it is) has the ability to diminish the dominance and/or revenue stream of Big Oil and Gas, it is immediately labeled "a matter of national security"

Once a pending patent is deemed a "matter of national security" it is buried, never to be seen again. To even discuss the invention after this label has been assigned, guarantees imprisonment (or worse) for the inventor.

Or maybe I'm just a paranoid conspiracy theorist.... or maybe both.
