It also occurs to me that this mechanic, if real, may have stumbled onto a "Chaff" delivery system of some sort.

It was a good bit of lateral thinking Blaine. However, let's not forget Occam's Razor.
Freepatents Online
The embodiments of the chaff dispensing system disclosed in the present application use a slurry of Freon and chaff particles and thus permits hydraulic and pneumatic principles to be readily employed to ease the handling and dispensing of the chaff. The flow rate of the slurry can be precisely controlled to obtain chaff clouds of desired densities. Once the slurry is dispensed into the atomsphere at altitude, the highly volatile Freon vaporizes so that it does not adversely affect the formation of a cloud by the chaff particles. The Freon and chaff particles have substantially the same density to minimize settling or separation by the action of gravity, and the particles will thus remain distributed evenly in the slurry.

I guess what we should be really worried about is why our immune systems are being purposely eroded. Are they eventually going to replace the barium with Avian Flu virus? That should sort out the problem of world food shortage. Did I see something recently in China about the increased human transmission of Bird Flu?

So now its suddenly plausible since it may be a chaff dispersement system. What happened to the weight issue and how could a mechanic possibly trace all the piping guys. Oh I see, since the post has been completely derailed to a chaff system it is all suddenly so much more reasonable. You know, there is a board for disinformation - why don't you go play there.

How about this for a theory: Lockheed Martin are about to introduce a new ceramic battery that is ten times more powerful and ten times lighter than a conventional lead/acid battery. It's electrolyte consists of barium titanate. This battery will no doubt be very popular.
Perhaps Lockheed Martin are testing public exposure to higher levels of barium before the battery is widely released.
