Some in the opsec community seem to have had particularly poor takes on the question of extradition: https://twitter.com/tqbf/status/821766035401572352
most of the well known people among those guys have security clearances to be able to work with US gov. which means they are under obligation to report on a regular basis about the people they meet. which means we can say they are part of the "intelligence community" (or if we are less charitable we can call them snitches)
> they are under obligation to report on a regular basis about the people they meet
Intriguing. People with a security clearance are required to give intelligence reports about people they have contact with?
If you have contact with an agent of a foreign power, you're required to report the encounter and what you talked about.
I'm not really sure how agents, or contact, are defined. I think the law is intended to keep IC people honest and forthcoming about foreign attempts to turn people.
(Disclaimer: I have never held a security clearance.)
