...decades, the United States has provided foreign students with world-class opportunities in higher education. In some rare occasions, however, our hospitality is abused, as some students return home to put their skills to work for unfriendly foreign governments.

Hoping to enroll the other 20 states, the FBI is offering free software and training. "Any modern computer that will run Windows and Adobe Photoshop will run this software," says FBI assistant director Mike Kirkpatrick.
