A Chinese national was arrested at New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport for allegedly photographing sensitive military aircraft at an Air Force Base in Nebraska.
“A 21-year-old Chinese national, Tianrui Liang, has been arrested and is facing charges after photographing a U.S. ‘doomsday plane’ and other military aircraft without authorization at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. He was taken into custody at JFK Airport following the incident,” Rawsalerts wrote.
Fox News explained further:
Tianrui Liang, 21, is accused of violating a federal law that restricts photographing defense installations without authorization, according to court documents filed in the Eastern District of New York.
Authorities say Liang was taken into custody April 7 while attempting to board an international flight, just days after a warrant was issued in Nebraska.
The case centers on activity near Offutt Air Force Base, home to U.S. Strategic Command — one of the Pentagon’s most sensitive installations.
According to an FBI affidavit, investigators were alerted after a witness reported seeing “a male holding a camera with a telescopic lens” near the base, where aircraft are stationed on the flight line.
Offutt hosts high-value reconnaissance and command aircraft, including the RC-135 surveillance plane and the E-4B “Nightwatch,” often referred to as the military’s “doomsday plane.”
Federal agents say Liang later admitted to photographing several aircraft at the base, “including the RC-135 and the E-4B.”
