CDEX has successfully demonstrated its Meth Gun to the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) that resulted in the MSHP agreeing to enter into a pilot test program with CDEX. The company chose Missouri because it has led the nation with the highest number of methamphetamine incidents in 2004 and 2005. Senator Jim Talent (R-MO) and Diane Feinstein (D-CA) co-sponsored a U.S. Senate Bill entitled, "Combat Methamphetamine Act" that was passed into law in March 2006, to establish public policy to combat methamphetamine nationwide. The bill authorizes appropriations of $99 million in each of the next 5 years.
CDEX anticipates beginning the pilot test program in September 2006 and completing the test in late November or early December of 2006. CDEX expects to have to refine the design of the Meth Gun based upon inputs from MSHP, and expects the Meth Gun to evolve into a "Illicit Drug Detector" that is capable of detecting more than just methamphetamine.
