I was just backtracing a wimsical about how America loves to be infiltrated, trying to solve the nations problems in a completely unwanted and unemployable state, when I stumbled onto this and thought back to your post here.
Finding actuation for your ideas and what not.
The DIA defense intelligence agency appears to have an arm called the missle and space intellicence center (MSIC) in Huntsville Alabama http://www.dia.mil/thisisdia/intro/index.htm
They also have a medical department (which maybe it seems your concepts might find a fit in?)
Technology applied to medicine, ect.
If you applied the CIA's structure of employability to your student path as would function say somewhere like the DIA, then wherever you end up, I'm sure you'll do great.
Maybe you'll luck out and find some great mentor to underwing you.
(I do actually believe we already have the teleport type technology. I am not a trekky or science buff)
