WASHINGTON -- The Chinese national taken into custody on an airplane waiting to take off for home had pornography and illegally downloaded movies on his NASA computer, not government secrets,

. He is now set to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of violating NASA computer rules. A felony charge of allegedly lying to FBI agents has been resolved, reports say, but it is not immediately clear if it is being dropped outright. Reports do indicate the lying charge is not going forward.

Bo Jiang, 31, was fired from his job at a subcontractor at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., during a probe of possible foreign security threats working at the space agency. He was

while bound for China. Agents say he lied to them by claiming not to have NASA equipment with him. Lying to a federal agent is a federal crime.
