You in the starfleet uniform... I mean Air Force uniform

Come on with this:

Air Force pursuing antimatter weapons
Program was touted publicly, then came official gag order

The U.S. Air Force is quietly spending millions of dollars investigating ways to use a radical power source -- antimatter, the eerie "mirror" of ordinary matter -- in future weapons.

The most powerful potential energy source presently thought to be available to humanity, antimatter is a term normally heard in science-fiction films and TV shows, whose heroes fly "antimatter-powered spaceships" and do battle with "antimatter guns."

I think next up for the Air Force is the Vulcan death lock, as long as it doesn't interfere with the Prime Directive.
