Yeah, I read about this one. Someone put Omega molecule mines all around the borders of the Federation? Sounds like the writers not only don't realize how impossibly huge the Federation is and how many billions or trillions or quadrillions of mines would be needed, but also that space is three dimensional. If there's a ring of mines, just fly over or under them. And just how many years or decades would be needed to lay these mines? Wouldn't something or someone have set one off already in all that time? The whole idea is absolutely unworkable.
