A New Mexico jury recently awarded Shawn Carpenter $4.3 million in a wrongful termination lawsuit against his former employer Sandia National Laboratories.
The former network intrusion detection analyst was fired in January 2005 after he shared information relating to an internal network compromise with the FBI and the U.S. Army. Sandia alleged that Carpenter had inappropriately shared confidential information he had gathered in his role as a security analyst for the laboratory.
Carpenter said he had done so only for national security reasons.

Sandia and Los Alamos have had truly country-threatening security lapses and our only response seems to be a bureaucratic one. Back in the day, we knew what do to with spies: remember the Rosenbergs? see also
