Yeah; in weapons, it might go like this:

* Govt research agency awards contract to study smallpox, including stockpiling smallpox. Researchers are happy, they're protecting the world.

* Govt weapons agency gets notice from govt research agency that "it's ready now."

* Govt weapons agency confiscates smallpox stockpile and data, makes more, spoons it into the tips of missiles.

Original researchers are more or less legitimate victims, whose goal to help humanity was used to obscure the Govt weapon's agency's goal to kill humanity.
