were charged Monday in separate spy cases for allegedly handing
over military secrets to the Chinese government, the Justice
Department said.Additionally, two immigrants from China and Taiwan
accused of working with the defense analyst were arrested after an
FBI raid Monday morning on a New Orleans home where one of them
lived. The two cases _ based in Alexandria, Va., and Los Angeles
_ have no connection, and investigators said it was merely a
coincidence that charges would be brought against both on the same

Engineers not Engineer.

On second thought, I retract the above. You are correct.

Boeing wasn't charged. Hence your title was wrong.

It isn't appropriate for the piloting group- it's just another one of
Larry's doom and gloom posts about the sky is falling and other impending
