Astrotech Corp. (ASTC)

The patent portfolio is probably worth 5-10 million as it sits....I could see Smiths Detection paying up if they got a good indication they were going to win the TSA bid....saves them the hassle of dealing with Pickens as a OEM provider...1st Detect does not have the experience, knowledge or capability at any level to manufactuture thousands of devices (even simple daughter board cards) so it makes sense just to buy him out.

25--50 million could be doable...remember thats small change for someone like Smiths
