I would imagine that many Infosec positions would be safe, as there are regulations in place that mandate many aspects of security, including, what functions have to be performed to keep an entire data center/telecommunications site from being shut down due to noncompliance, the qualifications a person must have to perform these duties, the minimal number of people that can be on shift, etc... It's funny, when the American people think about government cut backs, they think about getting rid of $500 hammers, congressmen getting 200k a year for pension after serving a couple of years, programs with multiple redundancies, and high ranking federal employees making 200-300k a year to do almost nothing. When the government actually makes cutbacks, it's always the military, education, research, or middle class employees that get fucked.
