Hum- all current S/M ETDs leave QPL status at end of '16 so the 5400 ETD unit - 1170 ISC units already purchased= follow on ETD purchases in post '16 and likely to be ISC+M units ( if M's new ETD gets on the QPL- and it might already be on there).

My sense, the next phase of EDS-ETD-METAL-FLUID detection systems ( known as the passenger portal) is where TSA would like to go...an all knowing- no operator system is what gets TSA's interests.

Problem is, you have a security tower of babel of sorts as disparate companies/technology flavors are not easy to integrate. And obviously, the reward does not merit a risky cash investment into R/D that TSA may not like after it encouraged investment.

If there was a master designer-integrator that could buy off the shelf components to plug and play into its designed system...well, that could work. But TSA needs to be clear and provide the seed money.

We do know that TSA wants human op interaction lowered and human op error removed while targeting ALL KNOWING status on any threat known or imagined.(LOL on the imagined aspect)
