??? DH and I are scientists from Europe. We work in research. Most researchers are foreign-born, did you know that? The US, until now, needed more brains than it grew domestically. It used to be called the brain drain: talented scientists from all over the world coming to work in the US.

Now, who knows what's going to happen, but to your point: it doesn't make sense.

I think that PP's point was that people don't disclose their secret squirrel jobs, especially in defense research. People just generically say they work for the government or work in research. [/quote]

And the point is wrong, because there are lot more people working in scientific research around the world (and other topics, I have a friend doing historical research for a museum) than there are intelligence analysts.

At a dinner party, they could just tell you they're researchers before they move on to the next guest.
