Industrial Espionage Within the 3D Printing Space

Yu Long worked as a senior engineer for a Connecticut defense contractor between 2008 and early 2014, and prosecutors say authorities stopped him at John F. Kennedy International Airport in August for carrying undeclared cash, documents for a new Chinese corporation and an application to work at a government aviation research facility in China. The feds say he was also carrying documents that the US Air Force says may be worth $50 million. Read more about the story here: http://3dprint.com/30297/yu-long-industrial-espionage/ ‎

Nobody takes paper documents through security if they are sensitive. The only reason to take paper documents on a plane is to read them while you are flying.

Something stinks here.

Gotta second Mjolinor here, this is seriously fishy. Also it seems like they just can't pass up an opportunity to try to paint 3D printing as a bootlegging tool.

Credibility is too precious a commodity these days for the government to go wasting it on things like that.
