Years ago there was a theory of Professor Günter Nimtz at
university Kölln Germany.
He had the theory (basing on experimental data) that Light has
infinite speed inside Tunnel Effect regions.
He made measurements and presented an Experiment where a Mozart
Symphony was transmitted over short distance faster than light.
Nimtz is not a crack, he is a high level expert for microwaves,
This theory was heavily fighted and ridiculed and then forgotten
after creating a lot of sensational reports in media.
In his experiment only some photons where observed at FTL speed and
so the Mozart Symphony was rather noisy ;-)
So this is similar. Only some Neutrinos where observed to be FTL at
CERN.
Most what is published in media is in german:
<http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BCnter_Nimtz>
but his scientific publications are in english.
Example: Macroscopic violation of special relativity:

This is an amazing article! Thanks for posting that.
It will take some time for me to digest that, if I ever can.
What I suggested earlier is similar. The Feynman diagram would look
similar to the article diagram, except a virtual particle would
merge at the left with the real particle to form a new virtual
particle, which then splits to become the original two particles.
Obviously Nimtz is dealing with photons only. What I have suggested
is essentially similar but involving neutrino-virtual-particle
interaction. One has to wonder at the possibility of electron-
virtual-particle interaction. The large rest mass of the electron
may prevent coupling of its string to a virtual photon.
Alternatively, Heisenberg could limit the duration of such a merger
for an observable time.
This area is of great importance to the deflation fusion theory:
