Decorated White CIA Agents with decades of service have sold out America for less than $30,000. I think measures like this are futile and only breed alienation rather than integration. Where money is involved, it is increasingly difficult to stop the diffusion of knowledge and technology in an age of instant communication and relative integration from anywhere that has money and the ability to do R&D to utilize the knowledge. If America truly is worried about losing the technological edge to China, then rather than waste resources trying to control the spread of knowledge, it needs to invest more in building itself up and ramping up education. That fact that the USA depends heavily on tapping into the global pool of talent means it is inevitable that knowledge cannot be contained in a single place.
