Buffalo- BM/ company has stated the "new" handheld will be available in ISC's Q4. He was asked on the last CC about it and sort of deferred to TSA's changing attitudes regarding a handheld component in the passenger scheme of screening.
I think you put a military man in charge of TSA and you will get results IF the objectives are clear. And the Admiral has pointed to the TOT as his ultimate product/goal scheme for passenger screening. He even spec'd a broad timeline of 5 years.
I am a firm believer in ISC's place within the TOT product development. And THAT is what brings real value to ISC as an emerging yet purchased Trace Product Developer/Producer. I think an inline ETD unit is part A and a handheld ETD is part A-2 in the scheme of things. By this I mean if an INLINE unit can detect trace in baggage/cargo, then ISC's contribution to the TOT is confirmed. Whereas, a hand held is not as vital for proof, IMO.
Summarizing, IF ISC's inline is successful, ISC will be purchased at a significant premium. I believe we see tangible results in 2016 and I refute a counter argument that "its always about tomorrow" with ISC. The company has proven itself around the world. Now it needs to, in a coach's cliche-bag, Take it to the next level.
