A passport factory in Thailand? Can such things be?

Smartrac divulged in an October 2007 court filing in The Hague that
China had stolen its patented technology for e-passport chips,
raising additional questions about the security of America's
e-passports....

Why? If the technology was covered in non-classified patents, then
anybody could learn about it by simply reading the patent documents.

Patent infringment is a matter for the courts, not a national security
issue.
