> Why work for a culture that spies on its own citizens, its allies, and engages in global terrorism? If you're working government info-sec for drinking water systems, it's going to be mostly for municipal water systems, often agencies that are a similar geographic scope as counties or cities but sometimes independent from them. Water districts aren't spying much (unless you have strong feelings about water meters, or lawn watering restrictions), and they rarely take part in acts of violence outside the districts they serve and the sources of their water. Some of these systems are private companies, and who knows about ethics there, sure.
