Secretary Napolitano Dispatches Senior Department Officials to Review Security Procedures With International Airport Leaders
Secretary Napolitano Dispatches Senior Department Officials to Review Security Procedures With International Airport Leaders
Release Date: December 31, 2009
For Immediate ReleaseOffice of the Press SecretaryContact: 202-282-8010
Secretary Napolitano to travel in the coming weeks to build on these efforts
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano today announced that she is dispatching Deputy Secretary Jane Holl Lute, Assistant Secretary for Policy David Heyman and other senior Department officials on a broad international outreach effort to meet with leaders from major international airports in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and South America to review security procedures and technology being used to screen passengers on flights bound for the United States.
“As part of the ongoing review to determine exactly what went wrong leading up to Friday’s attempted terrorist attack, we are looking not only at our own processes, but also beyond our borders to ensure effective aviation security measures are in place for U.S-bound flights that originate at international airports,” said Secretary Napolitano. “Because I am fully committed to making whatever changes are necessary to protect the safety of the traveling public, I am sending Deputy Secretary Lute and Assistant Secretary Heyman to work with our international partners on ways to collectively bolster our tactics for defeating terrorists wherever they may seek to launch an attack, and I will follow up on these efforts with ministerial-level meetings within the next few weeks.”
Deputy Secretary Lute and Assistant Secretary Heyman will first travel to Europe , departing on Monday. While there, they will brief European authorities on the findings of President Obama’s aviation security review and then report back to Secretary Napolitano on their discussions on enhancing international security measures.
Following the attempted attack on Christmas Day, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) issued a directive for additional security measures to be implemented for last point of departure international flights to the United States , such as increased gate pat-downs and bag searches. At the direction of the flight crew, passengers may also be asked to follow additional instructions, such as stowing personal items, turning off electronic equipment and remaining seated during certain portions of the flight.
Other security measures implemented have included the deployment of additional law enforcement at airports, air marshals, and explosives detection canine teams. TSA will continue to work with airline and law enforcement authorities, as well as federal, state, local and international partners to put additional security measures in place to ensure that aviation security remains strong. For more information on current security measures, visit www.tsa.gov.

Implant Sciences Provides a Solution for Threats to Airport Security Company Leveraging International Success to Target U.S. Aviation Security Market
Implant Sciences Provides a Solution for Threats to Airport Security Company Leveraging International Success to Target U.S. Aviation Security Market
WILMINGTON, Mass.----Implant Sciences Corporation (OTCBB:IMSC), a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for homeland security markets, today announced new initiatives to target the U.S. market in aviation security for its products and technologies, based on recent events and the company’s international successes in transportation and aviation security.
“Our handheld explosive trace detection system provides a necessary and valuable solution to the current threats against the aviation system in the United States. We are working with both the federal and private sector to gain visibility and traction for our technology in the domestic marketplace.”.In the wake of the attempted terrorist attack on a Detroit-bound Northwest Airlines flight on December 25, the Obama administration has announced the need for a review of air travel security including explosives detection technologies. Implant Sciences’ Quantum Sniffer™ QS-H150 Portable Explosives Detection system is currently used in transportation and aviation security applications around the world. The QS-H150 can detect a multitude of explosive compounds, including PETN (pentaerythritol tetranitrate), the substance allegedly used in the attempt to bomb Northwest flight # 253 on Christmas Day. Of particular note, the Ministry of Transport of the People's Republic of China and the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) have successfully deployed several hundreds of these systems for use at the Beijing Olympics and in airport security, checkpoint and package screening, and Air Marshall applications.
Glenn Bolduc, Company CEO commented, “Our technology is currently being used around the world by screeners and Air Marshals and we are working diligently to protect even more people closer to home.”
Implant Sciences is currently in discussion with the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) and the Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”) on initiatives to address threats from IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) utilizing its handheld detection system. In early 2009, the Company submitted its QS-300 system to the TSA for testing by the Transportation Security Laboratory (“TSL”), in connection with the requirements of the Air Cargo Screening Act of 2007. This law mandates that 100% of air cargo on passenger aircraft be screened by August of 2010. The Company has also been working with one of the largest freight forwarders in the world, and the freight forwarding industry in general, to position its technology for use by the private sector in its efforts to comply with this mandate.
Glenn Bolduc, Implant Science’s CEO concluded, “Our handheld explosive trace detection system provides a necessary and valuable solution to the current threats against the aviation system in the United States. We are working with both the federal and private sector to gain visibility and traction for our technology in the domestic marketplace.”
The QS-H150 offers compelling technical, operational, and competitive advantages. Among the most significant are non-contact sample collection; non-radioactive ionization; simultaneous detection and identification of explosives particulate and vapor; continuous self-calibration; and ultra-fast clear down (cycle time). The substance library of the QS-H150 is the broadest in the industry and includes not only standard military and commercial explosives, but also homemade explosives (HME) such as those used in the recent attempt. The library is also easily expanded as new threats emerge. These advantages offer an extremely versatile solution for Transportation Security, and can be rapidly deployed to greatly increase the number of items screened, effectively becoming a force multiplier.
About Implant Sciences
Implant Sciences develops, manufactures and sells sophisticated sensors and systems for the Security, Safety and Defense (SS&D) industries. The Company has developed proprietary technologies used in its commercial portable and bench-top explosive trace detection systems which ship to a growing number of locations domestically and internationally.
