This is not a new problem. The Military property disposal system is a threat to national security.

US NEWS & WORLD REPORT had a long article on thos five years ago on how a collector purchased a fully operational AH-1 Cobra via property disposal spare parts and a Chinese 'scrap dealer' obtaining a obsolete F-117 electromechanical gyroscope.

A small business contractor at Kelly AFB was charged and tried for a fraud involving diverting new parts to the property disposal program and their purchase at a cut rate price for installation into USAF cargo planes.

They managed to get off due to errors on the part of the Federal prosecutor.
