LAKEWOOD, Colo., June 4, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- BSI2000, Inc. Corporation (OTCBB:BSIO) is pleased to announce today that it will be featured in a television commercial on CNBC TV. CNBC is the recognized global leader in business news, providing real-time financial market coverage and business information to more than 175 million homes worldwide, including more than 86 million households in the United States and Canada.
On Sept. 20, 2002, the INS awarded BSI2000 a contract to deliver its SIGABA 2000 secure identification and border crossing/tracking system to the INS for evaluation in a pilot-testing program. BSI2000, a first-time INS contractor, is required to receive an INS security clearance prior to delivering its SIGABA 2000 system. The INS security clearance process has been ongoing since the date of the contract award. The BSI2000's SIGABA 2000 system both reads and validates the authenticity of the 10 million secure optical Green Cards and Border Crossing Cards ("Laser Visas") that have been issued by the INS to date.
On April 16, 2003, the INS informed BSI2000 that the INS Office of Security has granted security clearances to the BSI2000 staff. BSI2000 expects to receive INS clearance of its physical facilities shortly, thereby completing the security clearance process. Upon granting the security clearance, the INS will authorize BSI2000 to purchase the INS specially configured optical drives for incorporation into the SIGABA 2000 system. The optical Green Cards are issued to permanent resident aliens and the Boarder Crossing Cards are issued to visitors from Mexico that travel frequently to the United States. SIGABA 2000 enables INS officers to verify the identity of border crossers and resident aliens by a combination of biometrics, including fingerprints, cardholder photographs and other biometric identification stored in encrypted digital form on the optical cards.
