"Adding him to our executive mix is a positive way for us to begin 2007 and I look forward to the places he'll be able to take our camera screening systems in the future.

Further, he actively and effectively led teams responsible for large-scale implementation projects based on such technological policies with multi-year budgets in excess of $400 million.

"Throughout my career I have sought to develop and deliver technological solutions to enhance military operations. When I first learned of Brijot's screening technology I could see its potential to help ensure the safety of our deployed troops and to improve the security of facilities. The more I learned, the more I knew this was a company with both a technology and solutions-based foresight that I wanted to associate myself with," says Techau.
