Feds looking at Boeing scientist

Agents from the FBI's foreign counterintelligence unit have searched the Valley Village home of Abraham Lesnik, a senior scientist on anti-missile systems, looking for evidence that high-security information in his control ended up in the wrong hands, ABC News reports.

Lesnik's lawyer told ABC the scientist "has never improperly transmitted any classified information to anyone." KFI's Eric Leonard also was on the story.
