An engineer for a major American defense contractor tried to smuggle thousands of secret documents, including blueprints, on America's multi-billion-dollar F-35 stealth fighter to Iran in boxes labeled as "household goods," U.S. prosecutors say.
Mozaffar Khazaee, a dual U.S.-Iranian citizen, was reportedly arrested late last week as he was attempting to travel to Germany and then on to Iran. Weeks earlier, Khazaee had arranged for a shipping company to take boxes containing "sensitive technical manuals, specification sheets, and other proprietary material" related to the F-35 and its engines to a contact in Iran, according to an affidavit filed by a Special Agent of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.
The reams of documents were discovered in November when Customs officers inspected a truck shipment Khazaee had sent from Connecticut to California, which was intended to go on to Hamadan, Iran, the affidavit said. The 44 boxes, which had been described to the shipping company as containing "books and college-related items, two suitcases, a vacuum cleaner and some other items," actually held "thousands of pages contained in dozens of manuals/binders relating to the JSF [F-35 Joint Strike Fighter] program."
Court documents describe Khazaee as having worked as an engineer for several defense contractors, leaving his most recent employer last August. None of the contractors are identified in the court documents, but the latest employer, Company A, is described as a Connecticut-based contractor that produced the F-22 Raptor's F-119 engine.

When my second cousin went into military intelligence in the early 80s, I had a couple of uniformed officers show up at my house to ask questions. They asked how close we were, did I trust her, did she have lots of boyfriends etc. They also asked if I had had recent contact with a friend of my parents who was a civilian psychologist at Wright Patterson AFB and did my cousin know him.
Yep, they checked everyone I knew Although it was the FBI showing up at my tiny hometown where everyone knew everyone else.
Had an asian girl in my school at first. Turned out she had false paperwork and was from china.
Same kind of place I grew up.
They should fire his ass too.
“Mozaffar Khazaee, a dual U.S.-Iranian citizen....”
.
We just identified where the problem lies.
Perhaps I am prejudiced.
What’s with this dual-citizenship crap?
“It’s a good thing there are still a few honest people working in Customs. Now, I suppose Obama will have to tell John Kerry to take this stuff over in his diplomatic luggage.”
*******************************************************************
Or stuff them in his underwear—another progressive Democrat favorite tactic.
Did he work for GE?
Exactly, no one over 18 should have a dual citizenship.
My thoughts too. Why in the he77 was this guy even close to these kinds of documents???? We truly have idiots running our classified programs now.
Let’s import hundreds of thousands of cheap H-1Bs from enemy countries.
What could possibly go wrong?
Ask Ted Cruz....
VERY smart secret agent operation i’m thinking. First,,,, we saddle the Iranians with the slowest, least maneuverable, shortest legged, lightest load carrying fighter being built today.
And we bankrupt them when they try to build them.
Very edgy operation.

But seriously, make me wonder if things like this are how the Iranians managed to take over and land that flying wing drone a year or so ago.
They had help.
Why there should be NO muzzies AT ALL involved in our military or our government!!
String him up and leave him for the crows!
Joint Iran-US citizenship? Nice vetting.
Thanks kristinn.
The next-door neighbor’s son was in in some kind of naval intelligence and they sent a couple of spooks to interview my husband about him.
The next-door neighbor’s son was in in some kind of naval intelligence and they sent a couple of spooks to interview my husband about him..................................LOL, they scared the crap out of my 78 yr old mom, but my neighbors handled it. LOL, I was living with a Russian couple at the time too. They went pretty deep into my back ground, a lot more than they did for Obama I’m sure.
Why are those red flags?
