Let's imagine MIT was working on some kind of defense-related project ala Whirlwind. Could it be possible that the Secret Service gets called in on any possible suspicious activity on any network connected to such a thing?
Depends if it were dod as a whole or a specific branch. If it involved one branch it would probably be NCIS for navy and marines or the respective CIDs for air force or army. The dod angle had crossed my mind. You can not hold a position above l1 help desk at Georgia tech without top secret clearance. All due to the defense research conducted at GT.
