Security risk? I would have to have been given some closely guarded and closely held national secret, in order to even qualify to give up that secret.
Since Bigfoot are quite common, then they cannot possibly be closely held. Studying the Bigfoot is also quite legal. Since the FBI tells me that there is absolutely nothing illegal about Bigfoot research or possessing Bigfoot knowledge, then their is no closely held secret to give up. So there can be no security risk.
Traitor? A traitor is someone who performs some act that is both against federal law, and aids and abetts the enemy.
We have no enemies to my knowledge, when it comes to bigfoot knowledge. Furthermore, the act of concealing the Bigfoot's existence as the Federal Government does, contributes to the likelihood of mass hysteria, panic and general public distrust in their government in the future. In my wildest dreams, I cannot imagine a polititian wanting to be at the wheel, when the next Bigfoot panic occurs primarily as a result of decades of anti-bigfoot government sponsored propaganda. My efforts to head off that mass hysteria, panic and distrust in the government, are greatly underappreciated, to say the least. My specific work is in humanizing the bigfoot by bringing to light their most defining characteristics that ultimately describes them as more polite than us, more considerate than us, more friendly than us, more disciplined than us, more benevolent than us, and of higher morality than us. Consequently, my work is squarely in the national best interest, whereas people like yourself, Dfoot, Kitakaze and Correa are all working towards maximizing the adverse impact on the day that the inter-dimensional Bigfoot becomes UNDENIABLE. Both youself and them would then be working squarely against the best interests of the U.S., regardless of who is paying you.
So if you are trying to build a case for someone hating American on this thread, you own name would be at or near the top of that list of likely candidates. My name, would not even be considered for that list. Instead I am thinking, simultaneous Congressional Medal of Honor/ Nobel Peace Prize for my work in the humanization of the Bigfoot people. But that is all in my humble opinion, of course.
