Of course being treated unfairly and as a group sucks, and is generally stupid.
However, when a society maintains such a universal "your IP is up for grabs" approach to business from the smallest fabricator to the top levels of government, and the govt is noticed to have a top level program targeting a region's business, that's not prejudice, it is established fact.
Moreover, getting the word out on such issues is exactly what you advocate; it is a part of the 'spy-vs-spy' people doing their job.
The network of suppliers is extremely extensive, and expecting the CIA to squander time individually contacting every single sub-subcontractor, or even only the set of ITAR-registered producers is silly.
I would go so far as to say that the threat against you even from overt discrimination is less than the threat from our society being undermined by an unopposed attack on its foundations.
