This is...I'm going to be really surprised between this, the AF civilian guy at Offutt, the Air Guard dude if we don't have a "security stand down" sooner than later. Smh. What makes it worse is the article says this: "By August of 2023, Schultz — whose job was in part to instruct others on the proper handling of classified information — discussed with his Chinese handler the separate arrests that month of two U.S. Navy sailors accused of transmitting sensitive information to China." That sounds like he was the security manager? Or a security manager? Which makes it even more ridiculous...like wtf? $42K? It's not worth it. I mean...idk. How he thought he wouldn't get caught idk.
