BALTIMORE, Nov. 11, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- View Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:VYST), a front line security and surveillance company, today announced FOX News conducted and aired a segment showcasing the company's Concealed Weapons Detection Portal, Secure Scan, in operation at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland for three days prior to the football game on Sunday night between the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns.
The Secure Scan Portal was in place at the request of the Baltimore Ravens, The Maryland Stadium Authority, and S.A.F.E. Management who provides security services for the events. The particular unit in place was one of the company's new mobile versions which combines all of the outstanding performance advantages with the ability to be quickly relocated. The Portal was deployed at the stadium's main entrance where all of the employees, journalist, and service personnel must enter the venue. The objective was to demonstrate the system's ability to screen a large amount of people very quickly. The system's performed exactly as predicted. The stadium's security personnel were interviewed and the segment was aired multiple times by both Fox news and the WB television network.
CEO Gunther Than discussed the benefits of Secure Scan portals at these venues and the news exposure. "We are showing stadium and professional football executives how the Secure Scan efficiently provides cutting edge detection and photographic imaging for recording of the entrants without long lines and delays. In our initial demonstrations we scanned the employees and media personnel, the individuals who have the greatest access to the stadium and often carry bags containing either personal items or equipment, the 'insiders' who pose the greatest threat."
Mr. Than continues, "The segment on Fox News shows the commitment the National Football League, the Maryland Stadium Authority and M&T Bank has for the safety and welfare of the fans and citizens, as well as the ability and potential of our Secure Scan. Right now the results can not be quantified as we are currently fielding inquires from additional media outlets and interested parties."
