My sense, TSA should have said: NO NUCLEAR ETDs will be considered. As opposed to the weak-vague, Nuclear ETDs are NOT desired.
Sure, TSA is irritated. However, maintaining an "eco-system" of innovating, certified equipment providers is their first consideration so they take the irritation as part/parcel of that "eco-system".
At the end of this: GOA can say PROTEST UPHELD and TSA CAN SAY: NO WAY. TSA answers for national security, not the lawyers at the GOA. What is very very irritating to all concerned, when TSA writes solicitations, GOA lawyers review those solicitations and I would hope, bullet proof them. Thus, this is a grossly irritating strategic move by a loser. Hey, Morpho could not even keep employed the worst salesman in ETD. ( I gest of course)
