BALTIMORE, Oct. 6, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- View Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:VSYM), a leading homeland defense solutions provider, announced today that the ViewScan Concealed Weapons Detection Portal System was selected yet again by T&M Protection Resources for use at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York, which took place at the end of September. Four units were deployed. View's supplementary screening product, the LAW Handheld Metal Detector, was also utilized and View personnel were onsite to assist with the operation of the units.
According to their website, the Clinton Global Initiative is a "non-partisan catalyst for action, bringing together a community of global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges" (www.clintonglobalinitiative.org). A series of distinguished guests were present at this by-invitation-only event, including but not limited to, Former President William J. Clinton, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, President Barack Obama, Former Prime Minister Tony Blair, and entertainers Barbra Streisand, Ben Stiller, Alicia Keys, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. In addition, more than 60 current and former heads of state were in attendance.
ViewScan unit rentals for high-profile, high-attendance conferences such as this one are becoming increasingly popular.
Gunther Than, CEO of View Systems, states, "T&M Protection provides executive protection to some of the most prestigious individuals and corporations, and was chosen again to secure the Clinton Global Initiative. Their expertise and training comes from the government's premier law enforcement and protection services. We are pleased that ViewScan was selected again to be the key security screening device at this prestigious event due to its non-contact, hands-off screening and rapid throughput; the ViewScan is 4-5 times faster than its leading competitors. This fifth year in a row deployment proves that the ViewScan is a better, faster and more cost-effective option for screening guests at esteemed high-level security conferences and events."
