US reports another arrest of Chinese scientist with no permit to send biological material

A Chinese scientist has been arrested while arriving in the U.S. in Detroit. It’s the second case in days involving the alleged smuggling of biological material. The scientist is accused of shipping biological material months ago to members of a laboratory at the University of Michigan. It’s described as material related to certain worms and requires a government permit. The FBI says the shipments were intercepted last year and earlier this year and opened by authorities.
