Major Step towards Inclusion on TSA's Exclusive ACSTL
Commenting on the TSA's approval, Thomas B. Pickens, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of 1st Detect and Astrotech, stated that this represents a major step towards an inclusion on the TSA's exclusive Air Cargo Screening Technology List (ACSTL), and having the TRACER 1000 used at cargo facilities worldwide.
TRACER 1000 Enables Air Carriers to Stay Ahead of Evolving Threats While Optimizing Cargo Throughput
In 2007, the 9/11 Commission Act mandated that 100% of air cargo loaded onto passenger aircraft must be screened for explosives. The challenge of doing so has only increased in recent years, largely due to a worldwide increase in cargo traffic. With a virtually unlimited library of detectable threats and a near-zero false alarm rate, 1st Detect's next-generation, mass spectrometry-based ETD was designed to enable air carriers, freight forwarders, shippers, and independent cargo facilities to stay ahead of evolving threats while optimizing cargo throughput.
Astrotech Demonstrated TRACER 1000 to US and Foreign Government Agencies
In February 2018, the Company demonstrated 1st Detect's TRACER 1000 at Stand 529 at the Border Security Expo (BSE) in San Antonio, Texas. Astrotech looked forward to arming security forces worldwide with its advanced technologies, both to help combat the opioid epidemic and keep borders safe from terroristic threats.
In December 2017, following a successful demonstration with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the TSA personnel, TRACER 1000 MS-ETD was demonstrated at Astrotech's annual meeting of shareholders.
About TRACER 1000 MS-ETD

The system is capable of detecting a wide range of explosive threats and common illegal narcotics, and can be customized for one's facility or agency's unique needs.
