An FBI affidavit said they were charged with theft of government property, conspiracy and transportation of stolen goods, Reuters news agency
reported.
Those arrested - two married couples - are all ethnic Chinese. Two of them are naturalised US citizens, while the other two are legal US residents.
Chi Mak and his wife Rebecca Laiwah Chiu along with Mr Chi's brother, Tai Wang Mak and his wife Fuk Heung Li, were held last week at Los Angeles
airport as they prepared to board a flight to China.
Mr Chi was a lead engineer on a research project that involves Quiet Electric Drive technology for US Navy ships.

If they are guilty then charge them and prosecute to the full extent of the law.
Is it just me or are there way too many things happening right now to make everybody fear foreigners?
Oh well... more fuel for the anti-immigration fires.
