...nano aluminum chaff exploits...
Get ready for the Troll Patrol to make an appearance.

Surely there is a way to do simple tests.
Does anyone know!

...nano aluminum chaff exploits...
Nano aluminum doesn't make for chaff. You need chaff to be at the wavelength of the radar you're trying to spoof, or some close by integer multiple. That would be several cm long. Maybe quite a few. But not nano, which would have no effect at all.
Some states no longer require permits (if they ever did).
Aerial operations, like chemtrailing, don't seem to require any permissions at all.
It's not true, anymore, that you need a permit to cloud seed.

A permit is required to modify the weather in Colorado. See the Permit Program page for more information about applying for a weather modification permit and the permitting process.

Is it true that what weather stations call radar today is not really radar, in the historical sense at all, but rather some sort of new system combination like lidar etc.? Or are they all really still locked into radar...kind of dinosaur really...?

Can you name those states? I mean states where cloud seeding is done that is, no need naming states where it isn't.edit on 3/29/2014 by Phage because: (no reason given)
Government oversight has changed over the years. Today in California, state regulations have slackened. “As for the State’s role, it is mainly informational. There are no permits or licenses,” said Roos. According to Roos, all cloud-seeding projects required permits until the law was reformed. “The old law required licenses and permits but it was repealed in the 1980’s. There was a general move toward deregulation in the government–mainly to reduce costs.” Today, according to Roos, Sponsors of cloud-seeding projects must notify DWR and county governments of the project, “This can be a letter or, for DWR, an e-mail notice,” he said. “They also have to publish a Notice of Intention in the county or counties affected by their proposed operations.”
According to the plan, some regulation remains: weather modification sponsors need to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act [CEQA]. But not all seeding has to comply with environmental regulations. PG&E contends that an environmental impact report is not required for its Pit-McCloud River project because it is privately funded, with equipment on private lands,” said Roos.
And a shot in the dark here, were you by any chance asking about Doppler radar for the weather?
In the United States, most states have laws in place that require permits for all cloud seeding activities, and that those persons conducting the projects be qualified to do so. In addition, site-specific permits and/or environmental evaluations may sometimes be required. U.S. Federal law requires that all cloud seeding operations be reported annually to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Good assumption. When NEXRAD came online in 1992 it was new. Previous weather radar systems did not use Doppler radar, among other things.
I know that the next generation jet engines are a lot different from the previous so I have to assume that nexrad, next generation radar, is also a lot different than the previous.
