Acro Enhances Efforts for Development of the "Accipiter," the Novel Explosives Detector
Acro Enhances Efforts for Development of the "Accipiter," the Novel Explosives Detector
CAESAREA, ISRAEL-- - December 29, 2009 - Following the news that President Obama has ordered an airline security review, as a result of the attempted terror attack aboard a Northwest Airlines flight, Acro Inc. (OTCBB: ACRI) has decided to enhance efforts for development of a new explosives detector.
"Accipiter" is based on advanced X-ray technology that allows for positive detection and identification of concealed explosives. "We estimate that a working prototype can become available for airport testing within 12 months if we'll succeed to recruit the finical resources," says Mr. Gadi Aner, Acro's CEO. "We believe that our 'Accipiter' will help to intercept terror attempts, by providing airport security with powerful and inexpensive tools for early detecting of concealed explosives."
About Acro
Acro, Inc. develops explosives detection technologies and manufactures relevant products. In addition to the explosives detectors that are currently marketed by Acro, the company continues to develop proprietary technologies for the HLS market. Acro's Advisory Board includes Nobel Prize laureate Prof. K. Barry Sharpless, and Prof. Richard A. Lerner, President and CEO of The Scripps Research Institute, one of the most influential scientific institutes worldwide. For more information about Acro, visit www.AcroSec.com.

Intellicheck Mobilisa, Inc. Featured on Fox Business News, Discussing How It’s Handheld Defense ID® Systems Could Minimize Terrorist Threats on Airlin
Intellicheck Mobilisa, Inc. Featured on Fox Business News, Discussing How It’s Handheld Defense ID® Systems Could Minimize Terrorist Threats on Airlines
PORT TOWNSEND, Wa.--Intellicheck Mobilisa, Inc. (NYSE Amex:IDN) was featured on Fox Business News discussing how its Defense ID® access control product could have prevented the terrorist attack aboard an airliner in Detroit.
“Absolutely. We have about 80 locations already in the US, and we are including more data sources every day. We are obviously getting more requests today, our stock is up 16%, and we speculate it is due to the interest by TSA.”.In the segment titled “Minimizing The Threat”, Cheryl Casone interviews Steve Williams, Chief Operating Officer of Intellicheck Mobilisa, and asks him how Defense ID could have prevented the attack on the Detroit bound plane, since the attempted bomber had identification.
Mr. Williams commented, “We would have scanned his ID and run the ID against multiple databases. He was previously turned away in London and as a result we could have used those databases, literally an unlimited number of data sources to validate that person and make sure they weren’t on a watch list, or a no fly list, or a wanted list for that matter. Just like a TSA officer, you would scan a drivers license or a passport and it would run a ‘bad guy’ check in about a second.”
When asked if the company is getting more interest in its product, Mr. Williams replied, “Absolutely. We have about 80 locations already in the US, and we are including more data sources every day. We are obviously getting more requests today, our stock is up 16%, and we speculate it is due to the interest by TSA.”
Ms. Casone asked Mr. Williams how quickly he could get a device to an airport if they called up tomorrow. Mr. Williams replied, “By the time they hang up the phone we can have a device to them. We have a national distribution channel of major vendors throughout the country.”
When Ms. Casone asked how this gentleman was able to travel from Lagos, to Amsterdam, to Detroit with a bomb strapped to his body, Mr. Williams answered, “You can add bomb detection machinery, but a bomb is a bomb, and it takes a bomber to detonate it. Whether it be a bomb or anything else, you have to screen individuals, that is the way you are going to catch the bad guy.”
