espionage

[jason rice]

When I was a member of the National Guard about 7 years ago, we had a 
lecture about the growing threat of industrial espionage and how M.I. would 
be used to counter it  One of the examples the officers provided was that of 
Nikon stealing the design of the disposable camera from Kodak.
