Ex-airline manager in U.S. accused of smuggling for Chinese military

A former manager for an international airline is alleged to have smuggled packages for the Chinese military onto flights from JFK airport in New York.
In exchange for discounted liquor and consumer electronics, a former manager for an international airline smuggled packages out of the U.S. for Chinese military officers, prosecutors say.
Ying Lin is accused of using her job at the airline to place the packages on flights to China out of New York's JFK airport, federal prosecutors said in a statement Wednesday.
"The defendant repeatedly acted in direct contravention of rules and regulations providing for the safety of flights in the United States in order to reap personal benefit," said Robert Capers, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York
