I totally understand the frustration felt by a growing number of posters on this board. However -- and I acknowledge that I may be grasping at straws -- the past two years have been an unusual, even weird, time in the history of the ETD industry: for whatever reason, governments, companies, the usual suspects stopped buying. No one is buying from Smiths Detection, no one is buying from Morpho. The TSA hasn't bought ETD devices in more than two years. The airlines have bought very little. We've been in a zombie business the last couple of years. Ironically, years when terrorism usurped the headlines, and the front of citizens' minds. The questions for us as Implant shareholders is, "can this strange and unusual state continue." I don't think so. Terrorists are bolder than ever, trumpeting their intentions to bring havoc to our shores. People are concerned. Governments are concerned. I believe this concern will translate into action, and this strange quiescent period for ETD will very soon be a thing of the past. I also believe Implant will be the beneficiary of the dam that is about to break. We've gotten a taste of what's to come, as it seems that the relatively small number of sales that have occurred world wide have gone to IMSC. Certainly Smiths and Morpho have not publicized an ETD sale in many months near as I could tell by looking at their websites. No, the sales that have occurred have been achieved by Dr. Jones and his team. We earned TSA qualification on September 28, just two months ago. We earned Europe's certification -- the first and only company to do so-- Oct. 6, meaning 44 European countries can now buy our products. I think factors (technology, need, critical certifications) have aligned to enable Implant to rapidly dominate a rejuvenated industry. On second thought, I'm NOT grasping at straws; I like my logic, and what it suggests for Implant's future.
