Did you consider IAD or one of the defense contractors focused on highly-secure technology? Hell, even groups doing R&amp;D funded by NSF or DARPA on secure systems work. There&#x27;s a ton of stuff going on out there that either (a) benefits security of government&#x2F;military or (b) could benefit everyone at some point.<p>I can understand if (a) didn&#x27;t interest you but being ex-NSA might help with positions doing (b). Not sure how INFOSEC people would react given the climate, though. Wise ones should see a skill and character reference from getting and quiting the job respectively.
