I'm not as worried about "the wrong hands" as I am about well-meaning but inept morons, which government is full of at all levels.
MrSelfDestruct's "radar rings" are re-calibrations in progress. It isn't actually raining in those. In fact they are almost always done when there is no precipitation in the area so as to be most effective.
There had been attempt to seed clouds with silver iodide back in the 1950s-60s, but those never yielded the desired results, ie they couldn't get it to rain.
