I believe you are right. What an insane proposition though.

How do you advertise for the position? Lie about the job and then once they are on board the government hits them with the no-tell paperwork? What a shitty person I would have to become to make that happen, and I would have no choice at that point.

Perhaps they would have a saboteur on staff they would be willing to lend. Very hard position to hire for, no doubt.

Yeah, and I guess most contractors would refuse to have anything to do with the project once they found out what was involved.

Actually I'm not sure you could hire a contractor, since you'd probably be under a secrecy constraint and wouldn't be able to tell them what needed to be done.
