Civilian Navy engineer charged for attempting to steal, pass schematics of USS Gerald R. Ford to Egypt

One “Mostafa Ahmed Awwad” (the wacky names parents give their kids these days…), an engineer at the the Nuclear Engineering and Planning Department at Norfolk Naval Shipyard,  has been charged by the FBI with trying to sell schematics of the new aircraft carrier to the Egyptian government… but apparently the “government agent” that Awwwwad tried to sell to was actually an FBI agent. Whooopsie…

It’s an interesting tale, one the FBI apparently recorded the entirety of.  Sounds like treason, if he’s a US citizen.
