I don't get it. Is is against the law to have one or is it that you can't take one on an airplane? I didn't know they were dangerous.

More proof of Red Chinese spying on the U.S. under Bush...Whatta joke! I wonder how many thousands of Commie spies have gotten away with their stealth? It’s like the Souther Border. Catch a few and while thousands are sneaking in...

When I saw the headline, I thought it was about those Sony camcorders that let you see people naked.

I NEVER thought I'd say this, let alone think it but Bush is as bad as Carter on almost every measure except Defense - And even there he's managed to botch it pretty well. A complete and utter failure that did not meet any of my meager expectations.

Bush Bots have a field day. Bot is the operative word.

I’d guess their destination plus how many they had.

I suspect they are “munitions” which means they can’t be exported without a license. I.e. this is an example of espionage, taking a few goodies home to the mother country.

Need more info on this. It appears that they bought them legally. If they can buy them legally what’s the problem with transporting them. If there are technical reasons to keep them secret and we don’t want them end up in the wrong hands why allow them to be sold without permit or offical approval? This story has more to it.

What do you mean a little trouble? President Bush will be happy to let these two walk if detaining them would offend his his chinese friends.

something about the fact that you can’t export internationally without other people knowing (besides just their local Chinese general) in the great US of A. It wasn’t a problem that they were purchased, just that they were sneaking them out of the country without proper export procedures.

Has the Chinese ever come up with an original idea. Seems all they do is steal.

Are infrared cameras illegal?

Just stick with your anti-Clinton rants. You’re better at those.
