It's fairly straightforwards: any significant accumulation of antimatter is necessarily also a potential WMD. Even a "dirty" annihilation reaction, with a significant portion of the reactants ejected rather than reacted in situ, is going to release terajoules per gram of fuel. One gram of reactants gets you most of the way to the energy released in the Hiroshima bombing, depending on how clean the reaction is.
