Sounds perfectly falsifiable to me: you just need to show a well accepted scientific theory that cannot be falsified even in principle.
However, Popper's seems more a principle or a criterion than a theory. By which I mean, you're free to refuse it and incorporate any amount of non-falsifiable statements in your "science". I just suspect it won't have much predictive power.
