The consequences if US citizens or residents get caught engaging in espionage for a foreign government are go-to-jail-for-years serious.

ok. a fair point.

OTOH, given US law enforcement's low efficiency what are the chances of being caught? and what if it's merely corporate espionage?

finally, the US is an open society with strong personal freedom guarantees builtin. what if the perpetrator has ties to a foreign country and simply leaves the US after they've installed the vulnerabilities?
