New Government Report Reveals Serious Gaps in Explosives Detection at U.S. Airports; Guardian Technologies' PinPoint(TM) Threat-Identification Software is Available Today to Sharply Improve Threat Detection

According to a media report, a recent government investigation reveals major deficiencies in the ability of airport security systems to detect explosive materials and other threat items in passenger baggage.

NBC News reported on March 16 that federal investigators recently were able to carry bomb-making materials through carry-on security screening at twenty-one airports across the United States. The Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) told NBC that "detecting explosive materials and IEDs (improvised explosive devices) at the checkpoint is TSA's top priority."

"While we cannot comment directly on the classified study cited by NBC, this is another serious reminder that there is still urgent work to be done to improve aviation security," said Michael Trudnak, chief executive officer of Guardian Technologies International, Inc. (OTCBB:GDTI). "In the post-9/11 world, travelers want to know that something is being done."

Guardian Technologies is working with the manufacturers of screening systems to apply advanced image informatics technologies to provide a much greater level of safety by ensuring that threat items are automatically detected and highlighted to TSA screening personnel. This breakthrough technology has yet to be deployed at airports in the United States.

Current x-ray scanners deployed at airport and building security checkpoints contain no automated explosives detection. The process of threat detection relies solely on a human being's ability to visually analyze complex images in seconds. "The challenge lies in the limitations of human vision," says Steven Lancaster, Vice President of Business Development for Guardian Technologies. "No amount of training can, or will, overcome the shortcomings of our eyesight. Technology remains the solitary solution to this extremely complex problem."

Guardian Technologies' PinPoint(TM) threat-identification software significantly increases the number of high-threat items identified in baggage, identifying hazardous materials that existing screening technologies have very limited ability to detect. This new proprietary software can be configured to augment existing airport screening systems as a "plug and play," complementary accessory that will dramatically increase security and safety for travelers and airport workers. The same technology also can be used to improve the capabilities and efficiency of screening systems used in high-profile buildings, sea cargo containers and other settings.

PinPoint identifies threats such as explosives, guns, and knives in carry-on luggage with an exceptionally high rate of detection, as well as a low rate of false alarms. "We have extensively tested our solution in the laboratory, and most recently we successfully demonstrated the efficacy of PinPoint in live field tests conducted in two international airports. What makes PinPoint so extremely valuable is that it complements the currently installed technology - we make the x-ray scanners more intelligent," Lancaster said.

Guardian Technologies is currently working to secure the necessary validation testing and certification of the technology by the TSA. PinPoint assists the screening process by notifying the screener of the existence of a potential threat and by clearly indicating the location of the threat within the x-ray image. "We believe that if PinPoint had been deployed in the 21 airports included in this government study, there would have been no basis for the report," Lancaster said.
