Episode 2, Tricks of Tradecraft:

CNBC’s Eamon Javers talks to a former chief of counterintelligence at the CIA, James Olson, whose expertise from his 31-year career makes him essential to understanding the case of a spy from China who targeted GE’s jet engine trade secrets.  Javers also interviews aviation analysts to discuss the challenges China faces in building its own commercial passenger planes, why it would be after GE’s technology, and why the technology is so difficult to master or replicate.
