And this is why I'm so fiercly arguing about the fact that both the NEED and the DEMAND for the QS-B220 make it quite important that it is now "in the club".

Only three club members: two which are, in technology terms "showing their age" (3 years old, m/l), and the new kid on the block: Implant.
And remember the superior features:

The QS-B220 features several technological breakthroughs:

No radioactive source -- In place of radioactive materials commonly used in ETD systems, Implant Sciences invented and patented a non-radioactive ion source. As such, there are no licensing requirements, special transportation rules, or safety concerns.

Automatic self-calibration -- The system is fully automatic, eliminating the need for manual calibration procedures common to systems now in use. Current systems require a skilled technician to manually initiate recalibration of the equipment.

Rapid "clear-down" -- The QS-B220 has been designed to address the industry's requirements for faster reset times. The Implant Sciences' design typically resets in seconds.

The fact it features " Rapid clear-down" is being missed by the folks who are somehow under-excited by the TSA putting it on the "Approved" list.

People, its not some kind of negative that it made the "Approved" list rather than the "Qualified" list.

There is a process involved here, and that process route the products onto the "Approved" list first.

Failure would be to NOT be "In-The-Club".

The QS-B220 is "In-The-Club".

And anyway, the "Approved" list lets folks buy, if they want. Buying prior to making the "Approved" list was not a choice, but now buying is allowed.

And why is it better to at least be able to take the risk of buying than to not even be able to consider it?

Why do I need to even answer that, LOL?

From the bureaucratic viewpoint, there is more risk if a buyer procures an item from the "Approved" list. It is their stance that buying from the "Approved" list is done "at your own risk", but procurement is still permitted.

So the question is whether the kinds of terror act mentioned regarding freight on passenger planes is riskier compared to the failure to meet the standards needed to be on the "Qualified" list.

If the QS-B220 speeds things up and, horror of all horrors, a terror act happens before its widespread adoption, you can bet your bottom dollar that the QS-B220 will get put on the "Qualified" list lickety split.

This is because the TSA has discretion to overstep the specific timelines laid out. Just read thru it folks. Its there. The TSA has discretion.
