House Approves Bill To Promote Use Of More Bomb-Sniffing Dogs – United States
A bill that promotes the use of dogs to detect explosives precision-guided in the Federal Aviation Administration’s Reauthorization that passed in the U.S. House of Representatives last week. The legislation, called the Domestic Explosive Detection Canine Capacity Building Act (H.R. 4577), ensures the Department of Homeland Security will work with American breeders and the private sector to increase the volume of bomb-sniffing dogs. “I was thrilled to see my legislation included.

Chinese National Jailed In US Over Space Tech Smuggling Scheme – United States
A Chinese national living in California has been jailed over a scheme to smuggle sensitive space and military communications technology to China. Si Chen was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison Monday, after she pleaded guilty in July to conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which restricts the export of certain goods to foreign nations, according to a Department of Justice statement. Chen, a 33-year-old resident of Pomona, a suburb of Los Angeles, was arrested in May 2017 and has been in custody since. She also pleaded guilty to money laundering and using a forged passport. According to prosecutors, between 2013 and 2015 Chen purchased and smuggled numerous sensitive items to China without the proper export license, including components used in military communications jammers and devices used for space communications.
