ICx Introduces ClearPoint(TM) Bottled Liquid Screener; New Airport Detector is Based on Recent Breakthroughs in Raman Technology
Posted: February 1st, 2010



ICx Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq GM: ICXT), today announced the newest addition to their leading line of Fido®explosives detectors. Designed to tackle the challenges of screening bottled liquids in the pressure-filled, fast-paced environment of airport security checkpoints, Fido ClearPoint(TM) rapidly and accurately identifies suspicious liquids through their containers.

ClearPoint leverages years of screening experience and Raman system development and was designed from the ground up specifically for rapid screening of bottled liquids. The innovative design makes it easy for containers of various sizes and shapes to be efficiently sampled without having to open them. The technology is optimized to reduce false alarm rates and provide prompt, accurate identification of any suspicious liquids that might be a threat to passenger safety.

"The TSA already has 200 of our Fido®PaxPoint(TM) handheld liquid screeners deployed at 30 of the largest airports in the U.S.," said Colin Cumming, CEO of ICx Technologies. "We developed ClearPoint to augment the capabilities of PaxPoint and other security technologies, and to fit seamlessly into current processes at airport security lanes."

ClearPoint is the latest detection product developed by ICx Technologies to support a layered approach to airport security. The ICx identiFINDER®and Stride(TM) systems for radiation detection are being used at airports for passenger and luggage screening, and the company has also installed biological detection solutions to monitor air quality for the release and mitigation of bio-threats.
