Well, it's nice to see that I'm not completely crazy ;). I'm happy to see, however, that the article pretty much sums up why this isn't actually a feasible solution.
In addition to the extreme bulkiness of both the emitter and detectors (See Super Kamiokande), neutrinos only really get generated in certain particle decays. This means you're pretty much stuck with needing a nuclear reactor (of varying sizes) to generate them. Although this alone isn't necessarily a problem, it's really not something governments are going to be overly happy with garage hackers doing. :(
Can the detectors be sized down? Maybe. Unfortunately, there's a good chunk of inherent randomness in neutrino particle detection. It may be that there's no good way to actually detect them short of brute force: Big detectors, lots of neutrinos, and just playing the odds.

We can dream though. And investigate.
