Top Secret Shopping Spree: Engineer’s Classified Document Blunder Ends in FBI Takedown
Gokhan Gun, a DoD engineer, decided to take his work home—155 pages of top-secret documents, that is. His shopping bag full of secrets was intercepted en route to Mexico. Now facing up to five years in the clink, he may want to rethink his packing list for future trips. Lesson learned: top-secret doesn’t mean take-home.
