I was once at a conference where some DoD nits tried to pull the Proceedings the night before the opening session. After much pleading from the authors, they relented and permitted publication when the company promised not to do it again. Later, the true story came out. The company wanted to attract publicity but had mediocre research results. So, they submitted the paper for publication without prior clearance and then told DoD about it at the last minute so that DoD would try to stop publication. This was in 1982, when this sort of nonsense still made news, and the company received much undeserved publicity!
