A couple TMT project partners like (China and India) are also a big part of the next space race. These countries will share TMT observatory time and Data. The JWST and TMT will also share Data that may be important for the different TMT partners. I would not like to see a calm and peaceful mountain like Mauna Kea become a target like pearl harbor once did, WW3 involvement perhaps.
Also, I would not like to see Data gathered from the TMT on Mauna Kea to help target other nations space satellites or their countries in any way. Even the TMT partners get very excited about the many possibilities they themselves cannot even fathom today with the use of the TMT's technology. The TMT equipment may someday be operational from elsewhere like maybe a Chinese battleship in the middle of the Pacific. The laser, mirrors and eye technologies of the TMT may be very important pieces to the TMT partners as well as other developing countries like N. Korea and Iran, for various reasons. jmo

Universities like Yale already pay millions for viewing time with much smaller telescopes than the TMT. Not all Universities can compete for that viewing time with the Yale's, Harvard's or Princeton's budgets, including UHH and UH. jmo
When known Hawaiian shrines are removed from the TMT site and known Hawaiian ancestors have been buried on the summit of Maun Kea in places of secrecy. Then it may be possible to have Hawaiian burials on the TMT site and It may be hard to trust folks like Wally Ishibashi to protect or report them. jmo
Having TMT partners breaking ground or moving ground with heavy machine equipment before the important hearings and issues are resolved is like putting the cart before the horse. Permits should not have been granted to the TMT and there for it may have been Rubber-stamping the 18 story process. jmo
