American Association of Airport Executives' CEO Todd Hauptli Visits Implant Sciences

WILMINGTON, Mass., July 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Implant Sciences Corporation (OTCQB: IMSC), a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for homeland security and defense markets, today announced that Todd Hauptli, President and Chief Executive Officer of the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) visited and toured the Company's headquarters and manufacturing facility.

"I am really impressed with the trajectory of the company at Implant Sciences," AAAE's President and CEO, Todd Hauptli, commented. Hauptli reviewed the QS-B220, currently in final stages of evaluation by the TSA, which was designed to advance the state of the art in system uptime, false alarms rates, and throughput—all things that will support getting travelers through checkpoints safely and quickly.  "It is clear to me that the Company has put much thought into preparing its manufacturing and support teams to provide for the rapid deployment of a large number of these systems," said Hauptli.

The QS-B220 clears down rapidly both between samples as well as after an alarm, resulting in faster processing at checkpoints. The system's patented inCal™ internal automatic calibration system keeps the system ready to detect without operator intervention. Push button maintenance and diagnostics mean more consistent, longer uptimes to help ensure deployed systems are available for virtually continuous use.

"We had a great visit today with Todd and we thank him for taking the time to gain a deeper understanding of our technology and the value we seek to provide to aviation security. AAAE has long been a key stakeholder in US airport security operations and policy, continually working with TSA and policy makers to optimize security while improving the experience of air travelers," stated Implant Sciences' President and CEO, Glenn D. Bolduc.

"Implant Sciences is committed to delivering ETD systems, such as the QS-B220, that are purpose-built to meet the needs of critical safety as well as the operational and logistical needs of airports here in the US and internationally," Bolduc added.  "With our membership in AAAE and this visit from Mr. Hauptli, we continue to gain critical input about what airports are looking for in next-generation aviation security technologies. This interaction with airport leadership is crucial to our current and future technology development."

AAAE is the world's largest professional organization for airport executives, representing thousands of airport management personnel at public-use commercial and general aviation airports. The organization's members represent approximately 850 airports and hundreds of companies and organizations that support airports. AAAE is also is one of the most influential associations in Washington DC, ranking in the top 1% of professional trade associations in terms of budget and staff size with an unparalleled reputation of influence and effectiveness in Washington for their outstanding advocacy and support of airports. Implant Sciences became a member of the AAAE in January.
