"The rapture definitely took place, but there just wasn't a soul worth saving so it went unnoticed. The world will still end in October, as planned."
— Harold Camping

Hum. So the prophet who correctly calculated the date and time of the rapture wasn't worthy? I can hardly wait until October, or until the lawsuits against him start.

The Executive Branch has been able to shut down lawsuits by claiming the State Secrets privilege, but the SCOTUS has put an interesting limitation on it. The Feds sued two defense contractors seeking monetary rewards for a failed stealth airplane project, but they wouldn't release secrets that the defendants could use in their defense. SCOTUS ruled that you can't have it both ways: release the secret or you can't get monetary damages.
