If (IF!) you hold a civilian or military clearance, then you have a legal Duty to Report (DTR). That holds true whether its data in your clearance level or not.

If (IF!) you hold a civilian or military clearance, then you have a legal Duty to Report (DTR). That holds true whether its data in your clearance level or not.
You also abide by a whole slew of laws regarding sensitive, secret, top secret, or SCIF information. If I knowingly, or even suspect, some information if classified, and I transmit it to anyone else than my federal assigned contact, I'm breaking major federal laws.
A lot of security professionals in the US have such clearances. So finding a NSA implant or such proof makes it dangerous to talk about by default.
So yeah, a gag order by profession.
