Two Men With Infared Cameras Arrested

Two men attempting to board a plane in China on Saturday were arrested for holding on to a dozen infared cameras. Federal agents stopped the plane in time that was going to Beijing. The men had actually been in the United States for nearly two years prior to that. According to the article Men with "hightly sensitive cameras arrested at airport, "Yong Guo Zhi, a Chinese national, and Tah Wei Chao, a naturalized U.S. citizen, were arrested for investigation of trying to take thermal imaging cameras with potential military use to China without the proper export licenses." They told authorties that they told the seller that they were for domestic use only. The measurements of the cameras were about 2 inches square while the cost was about $5,000. It is too bad that the two men lied to the seller about using them only in the United States. They were going to use the cameras for military use which is illegal.
