Do you feel safer now?
Just found this,
The ITT Corporation, a major manufacturer of night-vision goggles usedby the American military, pleaded guilty yesterday to illegally sendingclassified military information to other nations, including China, andagreed to pay a $100 million penalty.

In case you didn't read it their excuse: ITT did so to take advantage of cheaper manufacturing overseas. Yes, outsourcing the new way to spread your military secrets around. $50 million fine doesn't seem to feel right, as I'm SURE they've made more than that over the years and cost us more than that.
