Whoa, who would have thought that one of the premier Information Warfare organizations in the world would just shut their doors and kick 6000 people to the curb? Beyond belief.
Did we forget so quickly the lesson learned after the cold war, and the KGB influx into cybercrime in the power vacuum that was (is?) Russia? What are these 6000 patriots going to do? My guess -- they're going to displace less patriotic infosec persons in the workplace, some of whom are less ethical or patriotic, and are then ripe for recruitment.
Am I panicking? By no means. However, 6000 highly-trained Information Warriors suddenly pumped into the US market is a game-changer.
