According to the FBI Minneapolis field office,
A former civilian employee at the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, was taken into custody yesterday afternoon at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport while attempting to board a flight to China. At the time of his attempted one-way flight to China, Liangtian Yang, age 26, also known as Alfred Yang, of Lawton, Oklahoma, allegedly had in his possession multiple media storage devices, one of which contained a restricted Army field manual. The manual was not authorized to be in his possession, nor was it authorized to be transferred to a personal computer disk.
Yang had his secret clearance revoked last month as a result of security violations. The field manual was discovered by Customs officials during a secondary screening while awaiting his flight. Yang faces a maximum penalty of one year in prison.
