As a counterfactual to this, go on linkedin and type "sandia national labs" into the search bar and see how many results come up with people freely listing them as their employer.

This isn't the movies, you're allowed to tell people if you work at a national lab. You just may not be able to go into detail on what your work entails.

I work in a classified environment, but if I didn't intend to remain anonymous on HN I'd have no problem telling you who my employer is.
