#2 American Mozaffar Khazaee...bound for his native Iran...visited the country five times in the past seven years

Is it inappropriate for me to ask why this guy was given access to that data, a clearance, or even hired...or am I a non-PC/EOE dinosaur?

#4 Well we've never had much of an espionage problem with contract employees in the past. Rigidly enforced clearance updates, background checks, travel reporting, and polygraphs.... that sort of thing. Employees at LM and ~~Booze Allen~~ have excellent records.

#5 Should replace plans with bogus plans, insert tracking device and let package proceed. Drone whoever opens package in Iran. Oh wait I am assuming Iran is an enemy.

#7 He was arrested last week when US authorities stopped him from boarding a flight to Germany, bound for his native Iran

Didn't have an excuse note from ~~ValJar~~ mommy?

#10 H1Bs are only allowed into the Country to drop labor costs for the high tech industries. There is really no reason to have them in country, they can write code just as well from Mumbai or Karachi.
