Somewhat similar story with a friend of mine: She is a physicist who flew in from India to attend a symposium on NMR. When they heard that she was here for something "nuclear", she was held for a number of hours as the TSA went up the chain trying to figure out what to do. Eventually, they called in an expert, who started laughing when they claimed she was here to steal nuclear secrets, and she was allowed in without further incident.
