I have 2 friends that work there and they were a little worried, now that CERN is coming online, they are really worried.
Although I cannot state to be knowledgeable in this field and have just looked into it shortly, but my understanding is that particles are "sent" inside a circular contained environment and such experiments you state like sending particles from one physical location to another doesn't and cannot take place. So either you are misinformed or simply make things up adding to the fear factor - but you are welcome to prove me wrong.
