Foreign born engineers in US are spies!!!!!!!

If you are an engineer who was born in some other country but studied in USA (maybe did your masters or doctorate) you might be soon declared a SPY....!!!! according to this article, the FBI says that foreign born american educated engineers might be a little more than shifty-eyed spies trying to purloin our country's most valuable trade or military secrets. The FBI listed "students and teachers" as one of the favorite disguised used for spying.
"You hire a foreign-born engineer who has been educated in this country. Over a 10-15 year period, she rises to mid-level management. Then, she returns to her home country—where she gets paid by that government to set up a business that competes with yours. A series of university students and professors from overseas take jobs in research labs on campus and get involved in related military projects. Individually, they learn only bits and pieces. But collectively, when they pass that information back to their home country, it paints a telling picture of our country’s defense initiatives."To see the full list of espionage warnings, go
