TraceGuard Technologies Inc (OTC BB: TCGD), a provider of innovative homeland security systems and solutions, received news coverage by NBC, which was broadcast on April 19, 2007.

The broadcast, which aired on NBC's Channel 6 South Florida and was entitled "New Device Promises Quicker Airport Security Screening," reviewed TraceGuard's CompactSafe(TM) system, which performs Automated Trace Extraction(TM) of explosives, as part of the aviation security process for checking baggage for explosives and bombs. The broadcast reviewed the challenges associated with inspecting billions of passenger bags in a timely and orderly fashion and suggested that CompactSafe could help improve the process by increasing the accuracy of current explosives detection methods, speeding up passenger throughput and enhancing passenger privacy.

TraceGuard CEO Dr. Ehud Ganani said in the story with respect to CompactSafe's capabilities: "Instead of manually trying to pick up particles from inside or outside of the bag, we have a process that does that effectively and automatically and in a matter of 30 seconds, instead of four to five minutes that it takes today...it's a means to make the process currently being used far more effective. Also, we're going to avoid invading passenger privacy, which is an issue of major concern at airports around the world."

Dr. Ganani was also quoted in the story as saying that CompactSafe has been tested thoroughly in laboratories and at Israel's main airport. TraceGuard has submitted several ATE concepts to the Department of Homeland Security for funding, although the company is not aware that DHS is currently testing CompactSafe.
