DALLAS -- MicroTRAK, Inc. (Pinksheets:MIOK) announces introduction of Anti-Terrorism Program (ATP ATP: see adenosine triphosphate.

), in which the premiere MIOK "FleetGUARD", will offer fleet companies not only proper, safe, and protected transporting from possible terrorist attacks, but employs discount rates to fleet companies who transport hazardous materials.

Each year, almost 5 billion tons of hazardous materials and wastes are transported throughout the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area. . These shipments include everything from explosives, flammables, corrosive or toxic chemicals to spent reactor fuel, low-level radioactive wastes Noun 1. low-level radioactive waste - (medicine) radioactive waste consisting of objects that have been briefly exposed to radioactivity (as in certain medical tests)  and disease-causing biological agents.

They could generate massive economic and societal disruption if they succeed at spooking us into closing our borders and ports to all incoming containers," said Stephen Flynn, author of the national bestseller, "America the Vulnerable," and inaugural occupant of the Jeanne Kirkpatrick Chair in National Security Studies at the Council of Foreign Relations Foreign relations may refer to:

The FleetGUARD's real-time tracking gives dispatchers a view of one, some, or all of their fleet at the same time on one screen. Unlike other competitors who utilize RF communication for tracking, MIOK combines true global positioning satellite communication and cellular communication, to ensure reliable, accurate, and responsive nation-wide tracking. With this in mind, one of the FleetGUARD's most imperative capabilities is Geo-Fencing. The Geo-Fencing feature gives dispatchers the ability to be given an urgent notification of fleet movement outside a prescribed area.

Mr. Flynn also noted, "We are vulnerable for two reasons, the world has gotten smaller--more travel, we're more open and as business expands, we are more vulnerable. We are the most free nation in the world--a Constitution and a Bill of Rights. If we wanted to secure our borders or be a police state, we could, but we won't, because we are a free nation."
