First Full-Body Scanner Shipped By Valley Forge

Location Undisclosed For "Security Reasons"

Valley Forge Composite Technologies is shipping ODIN, its full body scanner, this week. ODIN is a state of the art full body scanning system based on Ultra-Low Dose Imaging Technology. It provides an enhanced ability to see most objects including liquids, explosives and other contraband carried on an individual, even when concealed.

For security reasons, Valley Forge has agreed to not disclose the end user of the product or the location of the initial installation.

The initial system is expected to be installed and operational by the middle of February at which point ODIN will undergo acceptance testing for 30 days before being put into full operation. It is believed that successful testing will result with a larger rollout.

"We have been informed that we were chosen because we are providing very high quality images", stated Lou Brothers, CEO of Valley Forge.

Full-body scanners have been a subject of controversy since they were proposed for airport security last year. They have come under fire from both civil liberty and privacy organizations, which say the image of a full-body scanner amounts to an electronic strip search of those who are scanned. There are also questions about whether the systems can save and export images. TSA has held that the images are not saved, and they are viewed in rooms separate from the screening area. They also say that a full-body scan is optional, and if selected a passenger can opt for a more extensive pat-down search instead.
