No longer do you have idealists willing to drive their vision of a great United States by taking a job with marginal income but great reward. You have folks like those above, who see headlines of rights abuses and think "I would like to profit off that."
Sure the quality of life is better in the locality the work is in, but only because it is built upon the lessening of quality of life for others at the expensive of said others.
Others who do not want their tax monies being driven to immunity shielded corporations who work to kill others via drones under the guise of freedom and liberty. Yes, that is SAIC[1].

This is an ongoing trend of the names most know as being involved in national level surveillance actively involved on the state and local level too. Another case is Booz Allen Hamilton's processing of digital forensics for local law enforcement via federal funds[2].
Yea, no chance for conflict of interests when firms granted immunity, having access to the world's data, are involved in 'petty' things like domestic surveillance/forensics to assist in prosecutions of the wire-tapped non-immunes.
This is an absolutely horrific trend that must be halted, as in halting literal construction.

People who dare collate information on the persons behind companies like Endgame and Booz Allen have federal resources put upon them. The site[1] linked, started in part by Barrett Brown is part of this battle.[2]
SOS.

Devices like Glass seem to be the threshold where this always on activity becomes most apparent as a potential problem. No doubt we'll be seeing more in the future, Motorola's recent always-on-ness hardware for example.

TLDR: Iranian chap(s) have been on a hacking spree and seem to be honing in on what they like to target. In this case US drones over US skies/assets.

The trade of insider secrets, exploits, bugging diplomats and world leaders. Collecting 'metadata' from the rest at the very least. Turning intel into for-profit ventures while granting legal immunity to corporations that are given preferential market treatment.
This is global manipulation. It burdens us all eroding chances for creation and innovation while keeping a few monied and out of prison.

I recall the "U.S.-EGYPT BUSINESS COUNCIL," part of the US Chamber of commerce. From their website: "The USEBC, located within the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.."
