Sdss has a perfect security system !
Do you remember ?
No-one understands security like the Israelis, that's why some of the world's best new innovative airport security technologies are being developed in Israel. We bring you a list of Israel's top 10 technologies.
Since the attempted terror attack on board a US airplane last Christmas day, airport authorities around the world are in a race to find novel solutions to fight terror. Israeli strategic and technical tactics feature high on their lists. What's the secret to the country's success in keeping Ben Gurion Airport terror free?
"Israel concentrates on the passengers and not their luggage so we have a real edge over the rest of the world in protecting travelers," says Rafi Sela, a top security consultant and former chief security officer at the Israel Airport Authority. "This is in addition to us protecting the whole airport, while the others merely try to achieve aviation security," he tells ISRAEL21c.
Sela, who advises governments and airport authorities all over the world, has become the leading figure advocating Israel's unique approach to airport security in the past six years.
Through his company AR Challenges, he uses approaches and technology services rooted in Israeli innovation to try to help his clients stay one-step ahead of potential terrorists. The global transportation security consultancy, of which he is president, works with high profile clients including Canada's RCMP, the US Navy Seals and airports around the world.
Making use of homegrown technologies, some of them developed by whiz-kids in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Intelligence Corps 8200 army unit, Sela believes that Israel's strength in airport security is because it boasts near-invisible protective 'rings' of security around the airport and passengers.
Most airports around the world often lack measures as basic as video surveillance, he explains. "The airports are so concentrated on finding your bottles of water and perfumes that they don't even look at you," says Sela. "The security personnel forget that they are in the business of looking for terrorists."
At Ben Gurion Airport you can take a coffee on board. According to Sela, airport security personnel don't care what you take on the plane. "The security in Israel checks you as a passenger, and not the luggage. If you are cleared as a person then who cares what you bring on the plane with you?"
Here's our list of Israel's top 10 technologies to keep our airports safe.
1. Trace-Safe - An alternative to body scans
They're in use in at least 19 airports in the US, but most people balk at the idea of a full body scan which essentially strips a passenger naked using radiation technology. Dangerous for the psyche and also for the frequent traveler who is exposed to numerous doses of radiation, an Israeli company working with a US partner could have the solution.
Trace-Safe from Israel and Raptor from the US have co-developed a chemical process, called TraceGuard, which can free particles from fabric and luggage for speedy detection and analysis.
The technology detects harmful substances and not benign ones like perfume or pharmaceuticals. It doesn't show false alarms, doesn't need filters or a cleaning. "You only want to detect the substances that you can make explosives or biological agents out of," says Sela.
It can be integrated into scanners and magnetometers and also into a wand that can be passed over both people and luggage.
While Trace-Safe is struggling financially right now, Sela believes that TraceGuard has the potential to bring an end to the use of all other equipment at airports, including the detested body and shoe scanners. "I am among those experts who believe the full body scans are wrong and not healthy for people," Sela tells ISRAEL21c. "Especially since they are passing through radiation; it defeats the cause."
2. Suspect Detection System - Tracing the sweat of terror
Suspect Detection System (SDS) is an automated interrogation and background check technology for both travelers and airport employees. It's like a polygraph machine for catching terrorists - an advanced and automated filtering tool that can identify potential suspects from among tens of thousands of people.
With human selectors and security personnel there is always the danger of introducing human error into the security check. But SDS's VR-1000 has been built with the assumption that very sophisticated terrorists may not be on the wanted lists of Interpol police or Homeland Security.
The technology works like a lie detector to monitor the psychological and physiological fear of a terror suspect and to assuage Americans' fears of being "profiled." The test works like a robot, searching for cues that only terror suspects are likely to radiate.
3. BellSecure - Consolidating data
BellSecure is an Israeli security company that is so high up on the security chain that it's impossible to locate its website. The new security platform, according to Sela, facilitates real time communication and alerts for both travelers and cargo. The start-up company developed by three Israeli entrepreneurs is now being promoted in both Israel and Canada.
Created by former soldiers in the highly prestigious 8200 IDF Intelligence Corp group, the platform provides the missing link between the identification and verification of people and cargo at the airport with local and worldwide authorities. With many systems in different countries, most of which are incompatible, the BellSecure solution can help to identity a secure and reliable no-fly list that derives data in real time from a multitude of sources.
Sela says that it manages security in a way that the $14 billion system bought by US security officials will never do. Currently looking for a pilot airport for a test run, BellSecure connects Homeland Security, Interpol data, pictures, voice and video to create a unified database that can be managed worldwide.
4. Eltel - Monitoring the monitors
Eltel, a subsidiary of Elul Group, provides logistics support to Israeli armed forces and government agencies. Eltel has developed a "smart" computerized training system that helps airport personnel deal swiftly and competently with security risks. This is a unified training system.
"This company owns a very unique competency program, which it can verify at the scanners as to how well a security person is performing," explains Sela.
"You need to know they feel and how well they are doing when they are monitoring scans. This company provides a continuous competency check program. Nobody else in the world has it. Not only could it help tell managers when staff need a break to rest their eyes, it could create standards on how security personnel are managed and monitored," he predicts.
The training system not only provides reports, but monitors those standards on a continuous basis.
5. WeCU - Here's looking at you
WeCU aims to blend high-tech with psychology. It presents symbols and images that only certain terror operatives will "see." Imagine suddenly seeing a picture of your mother projected on an airport wall. That's the idea behind WeCU, which collects unusual responses to its images to trace and foil suspects.
While Sela likes the idea, he foresees that some governments, such as Canada's, may take issue with this particular technology that smacks of 'Big Brother.' "This company has an algorithm that in some countries would be viewed as an invasion of privacy - Canada will never install it. I've told Canada that you can't do security with political correctness. As long as you are doing it without a real plan, it will never work."
If one could combine SDS with WeCU, this approach of profiling terrorists wouldn't be so bluntly viewed as an invasion, suggests Sela.
6. Bust the security line with your own "Biometric VIP" card
Frequent flyers will be happy to know that these biometric cards being issued in Israel by the Airports Authority could make flights easier and safer the world over. No one wants to arrive hours before a flight and have to contend with unpredictable periods of waiting in line.
The biometric scanners are cards similar in size to credit cards that contain personal, biometric information about each traveler. Perhaps in the future they'll be linked to international frequent flyer schemes. You'll have to wait a little longer though, since for now they're only being distributed to El Al's business class passengers as a pilot test.
Although Sela likes the idea, he says this particular company would need a solution like BellSecure's to authorize the check.
7. MagShoe - Keep your shoes on
While numerous Israeli airport security technologies in use around the world are undetectable to the naked eye, many American travelers are already familiar with MagShoe. Instead of the sometimes embarrassing and always inconvenient procedure of removing one's shoes for airport security checks, the Israeli-made MagShoe lets travelers simply step up to be checked. The device needs only a few seconds to scan for concealed weapons.
If use of TraceGuard's system becomes widespread, the MagShoe will become obsolete, says Sela. But MagShoe is still very effective for tracing objects hidden around the ankle area. Find it beside scanners and x-ray machines across America.
8. Vigilant - Sleeping with one eye open
Vigilant's surveillance systems stay awake even if security personnel fall asleep. The Tel Aviv-based company, working with the Pelco company in California, has high-end installations already in place at various US locations including the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, Texas, and the Salt Lake City International Airport in Utah.
The intelligent digital monitoring system improves crime and terror prevention, not only in airports but also on American streets, like in Manhattan for example, one of dozens of locations that's hooked up to Vigilant's digital monitoring system. The company's Video Surveillance Center is a fully digital management solution that provides a surveillance wall. It's a turnkey solution for any surveillance center, airports included, that also includes a video motion detector.
9. Briefcam - Step back in time
This Israeli company provides a video synopsis technology that allows security personnel to quickly and effectively review and index surveillance footage. Briefcam helps to identify individuals at border crossings, at airports, or in and around power plants. Since fewer people are needed to review footage, the potential for human error is drastically reduced, as is the manpower needed to track events and uncover unusual occurrences.
While Sela likes this technology, he says airports going for video surveillance options might prefer the Canadian-Israeli company Visual Defense. Based on technology from the 8200 army unit, Visual Defense can watch thousands of cameras at the same time. It's the only solution used in the subway in New York City in all underground stations. If airports decide to start using video surveillance, this would be the camera management company to use, Sela suggests.
10. ACRO-P.E.T. - Looks like a pen, sniffs out TATP
If the stewards on-board the recently foiled terror attack en route to Detroit had had this device, security ground personnel would have been better prepared for their task-at-hand, explains Prof. Ehud Keinan from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. In partnership with American researchers, the professor has developed a pen-like device that "sniffs" out TATP, a main component in explosive detonators, used in terror attacks in Israel, and a compound made famous by the shoe bomber.
Costing about $25 per "pen" and now sold through the Israeli company Acro Security, the ACRO-P.E.T. pen (Peroxide Explosives Tester) is one of a number of new chemical-based technologies that work to foil terrorists at airports, before they board an aircraft; and also to investigate suspicious cases and behavior while in flight.

Sdss is still very interesting, more than ever... The Technology ist the best in the market. We are getrimmt News soon...
I expect a press release to be issued shortly. If you have any further questions, please feel free to write again.

For Example :
WHAT DOES 15-12G MEAN?
"When a firm “goes dark” it deregisters with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and delists its shares. Deregistered firms are no longer required to make SEC filings such as annual reports, proxies, 10-Ks, 10-Qs and other important documents. And they’re no longer required to have annual meetings or elect outside directors.
To deregister, a firm files Form 15-12G (Securities Registration Termination) with the SEC stating its intent to deregister, usually by a certain date. Once that date arrives, the stock exchange or NASDAQ prohibits future trading in the shares. The firm’s shares are then relegated to the pink sheets, where liquidity is usually much lower. Although the actual process takes some time, the firm’s share price typically will decline immediately after the “going dark” announcement, since many institutions are prohibited from owning shares of firms that don’t file with the SEC or trade on the exchanges or NASDAQ.
Shareholder Action Plan
The lessons here are several:
If a company you own announces plans to deregister, don’t panic. If the fundamentals are intact, the shares are probably worth owning. Even in the less liquid pink sheets, shares of firms with improving fundamentals will appreciate. However, you should call the firm immediately to assess their plans for ongoing communication with outside shareholders. Ask the same questions we did of Southern Energy Homes—which gave the right answers. If you receive answers that indicate communication will be lessened, there may be some governance issues relating to the treatment of outside shareholders. For example, we would find it difficult to own shares of a company that provided only an annual report and had no annual meetings or election of directors.
Make sure the fundamentals are intact. Use the deregistration announcement as an opportunity to perform a thorough review of company prospects. Often a firm will deregister to help hide a deteriorating financial condition, bad accounting or other ailments
Fortune favors the bold. To be a successful investor you must have the courage of your convictions. That means if you’ve done your homework, don’t be afraid to step up to the plate, especially in the face of consensus opinion that’s going the other way. "

What is a Reverse Merger with a Public Shell?
A Reverse Merger is a transaction where by the private company shareholders may gain control of a public company by merging it in with their private company. The private company shareholders receive a substantial majority of the shares of the public company (normally 85% to 90% or more) and the control of the board of directors. The transaction can be accomplished in as little as two weeks, resulting in the private company becoming a public company. The transaction does not go through a review process with state and federal regulators because the public company has already completed the process. The transaction involves the private and shell company exchanging information on each other, negotiating the merger terms, and signing a share exchange agreement. At the closing the public shell company issues a substantial majority of its shares and the board control to the shareholders of the private company. The private company shareholders pay for the shell and contribute their private company shares to the shell company and the private company is now public.
Upon completion of the reverse merger, the name of the shell company is usually changed to the name of the private company. If the shell company has a trading symbol it is changed to reflect the name change. An information statement, called an 8-K, must be filed within 4 days of the closing. The 8-K describes the newly combined company, stock issued, information of new officers and directors, a full description of the business, and financial statements audited to US GAAP standards. The 8-K must disclose the same type of information that it would be required to provide in registering a class of securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
(See Sec Final Rule 33-8587, pdf file)
If the shell company is listed on the Bulletin board, the registered or “free trade” shares can continue to trade. The company can do a private placement immediately. To trade new shares offered by the public the newly combined public company must first register the shares with the SEC. This process takes three to four months and normally requires filing a Registration statement with the SEC under Reg. SB-2 or SB-1.
If the shell company does not have a symbol, an application for a symbol is usually made to the NASDAQ Bulletin Board. The application for a symbol requires filing a Form 211 by a market maker that is a member of the NASD. The Bulletin Board has no financial requirements. A listing will be granted if the affairs of the company are in order and the company answers the questions posed by NASDAQ.
Advantages of Going Public Through a
Reverse Merger or a Public Shell Purchase
•Increased Valuation: Typically publicly traded companies enjoy substantially higher valuations than private companies.
•Capital Formation: Raising capital is usually easier because of the added liquidity for the investors, and it often takes less time and expense to complete an offering.
•Acquisitions: Making acquisitions with public stock is often easier and less expensive.
•Incentives: Stock options or stock incentives can be useful in attracting management and retaining valuable employees.
•Financial Planning: Public company stock is often easier to use in estate planning for the principals. Public stock can provide a long term exit strategy for the founders.
•Reduced Costs: The costs are significantly less than the costs required for an initial public offering.
•Reduced Time: The time frame requisite to securing public listing is considerably less than that for an IPO.
•Reduced Risk: Additional risk is involved in an IPO in that the IPO may be withdrawn due to an unstable market condition even after most of the up front costs have been expended.
•Reduced Management Time: Traditional IPOs generally require greater attention from senior management.
•Reduced Business Requirements: While an IPO requires a relatively long and stable earnings history, the lack of an earnings history does not normally keep a privately held company from completing a reverse merger.
•Reduced Dilution: There is less dilution of ownership control, compared to a traditional IPO.
•Reduced Underwriter Requirements: No underwriter is needed: (a significant factor to consider given the difficulty companies face in attracting an investment banking firm to commit to an offering.)
Disadvantages of being Public
either via a Reverse Merger or an IPO
•Less Confidentiality – complete financial disclosure is required to become publicly held.
•More Public Reporting – Reporting expense is greater because of the need for full disclosure.
•Ownership Dilution – Owners give up some equity percent.
•Greater Time Involvement – Management must devote additional time to public company operations.
•Greater Liability – More company visibility brings a higher level of liability exposure.
•Increased Expense – Higher costs of regulatory compliance for audit, legal and investor relations.
But it is not negativ... They have their contracts and have one of the Security Systems of the Future ...

Insider : One of the interesting company merger in the future.
Dvtel is a big company :
http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=2528303
Email Alex Traiman ! Merger !!
Dear Mr. ,
I must say that I had some difficulty with your lengthy email. The company has decided not to issue a press release at this point, until there is something more definitive to report, which is consistent with its conduct over the past many months.
Also, I cannot comment on the various scenarios that you have addressed.
As DVTel is not a publicly traded company, and a formal agreement has not yet been reached, SDSS is not yet able to disclose the revenues and relevant financial information of DVTel. It is hard to fully evaluate the terms stated in the LOI when you can only research the financial data reported by one party (SDSS) to the potential agreement.
A look at the DVTel website (http://www.dvtel.com) will quickly reveal that this company's IP-based solutions fit in extremely well with the Cogito product line.
DVTel has very strong marketing channels, with its products being implemented on four continents. DVTel has a well-respected product line, has been in business for many years, and possesses a solid and highly professional management team.
The LOI with DVTel signals that SDSS is moving to achieve its business plan, to increase the distribution channels for its proprietary counter terrorism and crime fighting technology.
We are hopeful that if and when a formal agreement is signed, that our stockholders will be fully supportive of this potential merger. Management believes that partnering with DVTel can open up numerous opportunities for SDSS in the near-term and long-term future.
Sincerely,
Alex

Dear Mr. ,
Thank you for your note. I will not be able to relate to all of your questions and scenarios due to the fact that DVTel is not a public company, and that the LOI is not yet a signed agreement. I am hopeful the company will publish a press release on the LOI with an indication of their optimism in the coming days.

Don`t worry ! IT is fantastic :

In a surprising and aggressive move, IP video surveillance manufacturer DVTel is planning a reverse IPO through a merger with an existing penny stock company. In this note, we examine the plans, the details and the potential implications of this move. UPDATE: Feedback from DVTel's CEO included at the end of the note.
Sorry, i was really wrong.
My contacts give me some information about the merger,too.
Now, i think like you, and I also believe that Sdss shareprice increase very fast into dollars after they have published the contract/ merger details.
DvTel is a market leader in the development and delivery of intelligent security solutions. And Sdss is a great product.
So, sorry for my posts and i will never write negative about Sdss and in the future Dvtel !
wait a minute, this week the quarterly report is coming... and I believe it is bad...
I have watched Sdss two years and nothing was happened !!
my depot is empty now
last time i was right
today last day to sell...
oh next week negativ quarterly report of sdss
everybody is selling... Hmm,what s up ?
nothing absolut nothing
DVTel is no joint-stock company and perhaps they will be a joint-stock company ? With the acquisition of majority shares in SDSS,DVTel provides access to the exchange. In addition, they get a treat, the SDSS Now how. Would work this way on the purchase of as many shares on the open market, so that exceed the 90% limit, a squeeze out offer would happen to the existing shareholders. This variation could be unpredictably expensive for DVTel, because professionals will smell a rat and drive purchases through the course, it would also squeeze out the price driven up. Good for us if you have not already been sold at good prices?
Sorry for my last answers and postings...
But now, after the good news, I believe Sdss will be very great for investors...
The future, with dvtel is brilliant !!!
After the big contract we will see a sharepice of more than 1 dollar !!
I am right ! No news ! In the future there are no news too !
