Spy busted
Thanks to Gary for the tip. A spy who was busted trying to board an aircraft bound for China with sensitive documents on Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS) will remain in custody and transferred to Oklahoma according to the Associated Press;
Liangtian Yang, 26, of Lawton, Okla., is charged in Oklahoma with one count of theft of government property. During a detention hearing, investigators testified he had copies of two restricted Army field manuals on multiple launch rocket systems on his computer equipment when he was arrested last week at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
Yang had quit his job days earlier after he lost his security clearance for failing to report his marriage, prosecutors said.
I don’t know why he was busted. China is a our greatest ally aren’t they?

This is WHY people from certain countries should NEVER be allowed in sensitive positions.
It’s almost a left-handed compliment, that they keep spying on us for our weapons systems. The Chinese aren’t stupid; you’d think they could develop their own.
As many Chinese nationals that have been nailed for espionage or accused of it in the last 10 years or so, you’d think that would raise a flag or three thousand, but noooooooooooooo…
Pinto,
Why would they invest the capital required to develop their own weapons when we can do it for them?
They know that the current administration will never fund the systems to bring them to the field.
You’re right, Gary.
China just wanted to use the extra info to build better missiles so they can help defend us against a possible Iran attack.
