If the experiments were to succeed, we would enter an era where it was possible to complete remote control a human from thousands of kilometers away. This presents only what can be described as a 'clear and present danger' to any nation on Earth.
Not only could an entire government be compromised, but its media institutions and key enterprises. Imagine a scenario where the media is compromised, along with its government, key military personnel and the only people left are in shielded command center. It would be easy to exploit both the government and media to convince the population that the personnel in the shielded rooms had tried to instigate a coup.
I'm sure you can see how such a situation could degrade, even to the point of compromising a nuclear deterrent.
Now picture yourself as a leader of a nuclear armed nation. You receive information that a foreign nation has develop this technology and is at the point of a breakthrough.
What do you do?
