→It was an Esoteric Happy Ending.
Line 14:
** Also, the only thing the Congressman had been told was that he was needed for a discussion on something of 'critical international importance', and that the evidence was at Hathaway's house. Since that statement is literally true - the dynamite laser is such a matter, and the evidence of its existence is indeed inside Hathaway's house in the form of Hathaway's lab notes and paperwork - there is plausible deniability on the part of whatever mysterious parties decoyed the Congressman there that they had any foreknowledge of an incoming laser beam.
* Likewise, the fact that the kids knew about the existence of the secret project cannot be used as evidence against them. Of ''course'' they knew about it -- they were the people who'd originally invented it, at the project director's own request!
* tldr; While the kids are certainly suspects, there is nowhere near enough evidence to actually make a conviction stick beyond reasonable doubt, and given the major egg on face the laser project has already there are vanishingly small odds that they will ''want'' to make a federal case out of it.
