| sexy russian spy in the US? Quote:
The 24 year-old, who lives near Dallas, was apprehended after attempting to take state-of-the-art night-vision scopes and other restricted items to Russia.
The items were confiscated when she attempted to board a flight to Moscow earlier this year. She was arrested when returning to America this month.The case is being compared to that of Anna Chapman, a suspected Russian spy who was arrested in New York and then returned to Russia under a "spy swap exchange" earlier this month. There is no evidence that the two women knew one another.
It has been reported that Miss Fermanova was arrested on July 15th for "knowingly and intentionally" attempting to export "defense articles on the United States Munitions list." The night-vision goggles and scopes cannot be exported without approval from the US State Department, as they are considered to be sophisticated military weapons.
Among the items she was caught with were a Raptor 4X Night Vision Weapons Sight, which she had bought online. A customs agent claimed that the sight's ID numbers "had been covered with black marker pens".
Miss Fermanova is under house arrest and has had her passport confiscated. She is expected to attend court in New York later this month where she faces up to 10 years in prison.
Scott Palmer, the woman's lawyer, said that the charges were "false allegations" and "too sensitive to be discussed." It was reported that Ms Fermanova's husband intended to resell the night-vision scopes to hunters.
Miss Fermanova is thought to split her time between Moscow and Dallas, Texas. She teaches English in the Russian capital.
According to her Facebook page, she is a 2005 graduate of the Ogle School of Hair Skin and Nails. She holds a cosmetologist licence in Texas.
She came to America as a child with her parents from Latvia.
There is growing concern in America over the actions of apparently "cold-war style" spies, several of whom were caught last month living apparently ordinary lives in suburban America.
Earlier this month, 10 suspected spies including Chapman, pleaded guilty to federal charges and were deported as part of Cold War-style spy exchange. Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian president, signed a decree pardoning four Russians convicted of spying for the US.

lol americans, think's everyone's trying to steal their shit. she probably did just get them for profit off a niche market. If she was a spy she'd be stealing more valuable intel than some scopes you can buy online.

I knew someone would say that.
what he said was an attack on my personal being without and proof, while what I said was purely defending myself without any credit.
also, I could pretty much say that you haven't given me enough time to credit myself or you don't have any proof that I can't credit myself.
see where I am going?
is it wrong for me to stand up for myself?
What would you (Culture_Vulture) do if you were in my position? Pussy out and let ppl without credits step on you? [Please reply to this question]
I could've easily said "even though all the girls I will ever find won't be any better, but the girls you will find would be worst than what I can find."
I basically defended myself in a way where no one would get hurt.
