The FBI has national computing labs all over, and there are also places working for the Army, Air Force, etc. I think Los Alamos is one such. Again, a firm grounding in computer science helps a lot, because they know that you'll know the difference between a "good" solution to their problem and a "bad" (e.g. computationally infeasible, or terrible running time) one. | |
