GUI- it should could be a driver of delay ( sounds odd). But it collides with TSA's prior stated need for Next Gen ETD, which is what ISC delivered with the B-220.

I see a slight variation:

- TSA will totally replace all swab based / current ETD's with mostly ISC's

- TSA will roll into a flex layer via the hand held "E"...they can use that to augment other modalities, bolster certain high traffic checks, flex apply the "E" around the airport...but the con-ops and training will take some time.

I know this, if I am TSA Director: I want the "E" today! I want the best swab based ETD's on the line today. I want to know what I have to do to enable a walk thru total picture product that removes much of the human error potential and speeds thru put.

Instead, some bumpkin on the homeland hse cmttee is pushing the TSA to employ more dog teams. Dog teams are great during a war and or a crisis but if you really want to get TO IT, get the "E" in the field ASAP!

Guiguich, I have had that thought several times over the past couple of months. IMSC got the IDIQ how flipping long ago? TSA is in the lab with Mcgann and the rest of the crew. The B220 is likely already a piece of ancient history. I do not know that but it would not surprise me in the least if TSA does not take delivery of any of the current lineup B220 w swabbing (stupid, even more yesterday) would not surprise me if Thursday they drop a bomb about the companies next gen ETD product the B220 XL. Not saying it is so just a fat old muse to think about. The company is spending big bucks on R&D there is something here that is much deeper than is in the current discussion. A walk through portal? I have no idea but my guess is the B220 is an antique why would TSA buy them knowing what is on the bench at IMSC R&D. IMHO
