Isn't the threat of treason/jail enough of a deterrent for engineers not to build nuclear weapons for other countries?
Kind of like a beefed up NDA.

- ChuckNorris89 4y agoSince when are nuclear engineers "the elite"? Last time I checked the salaries never approached Bezos lifestyle level nor do they have any social or political influence. Should you get caught developing nuclear weapons for another state, what's stopping the US government from going after you Snowden style, cancelling your passport, seizing your assets, extradition orders to every country?
- Eddy_Viscosity2 4y agoIf you're building them for the enemy, good chance you are in another country and outside of the reach of US authorities. If you're highly skilled in such a thing and unemployed, you may go where the jobs are. So probably a good idea to keep them happy and employed in USA.
