I view this article as a positive development for TSAs partnership with Thruvision. Thruvision can solve this problem.

Another large US metro transit system testing Thruvision.

Thruvision at another major US airport for employee screening. This is starting to become a trend and should be a big growth opportunity going forward.

Amtrak Testing Thruvision

Rocket, not knowing your investing goals, but I feel holding this stock for another 18-24 months should have a nice payout.

Afrc, fair point. I am assuming Thru is part of it based on the picture in the article showing their equipment in the last test and the statement "Following a similar test at a Tokyo subway station in March, an experiment at JR Tokyo Station's bullet train ticket gate on Dec. 4 will use trained dogs to detect hazardous materials."

Hopefully a follow up article on the December 4th test will help us confirm.

Expanded testing in Japan for upcoming Olympics.

Thruvision on Fox Business News this morning in the US

I too have looked at the Qinetiq solution in the past, and Thurvision looks far superior to what Qinetiq shows, which is just a color code if it detects something. I can not imagine a customer preferring this over what Thruvision can show.

I do agree that Qinetiq could one day be a potential acquirer of Thruvision.

Leoboy, the description of the product is exactly how the Thruvision solution is set up - a mobile unit that can be moved around easily. This video shows how it is set up - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12W-yBiFXgk&feature=youtu.be.

Great exposure getting an article reference in FT

Up to 2,000 passengers screened for knives each hour in police body scanner trial

Good overview and demo

93% growth in revenue is great progress. My only concern in the report is that they only have the capacity to manufacture 20 units a month at this time. The problem I see with Thruvisions as a stock is that it trades on the AIM. If this traded in a larger stock market it may see a lot more attention.

Blanket Purchasing Agreement for Thruvision. Curious what the potential orders can be for this use case.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/us-department-state-selects-thruvision-130000049.html

These US orders are just the beginning for potential big growth there and as a reference for global growth.

The use case for scanning employees is a significant opportunity. Employee screening at airports is a big gap in security. Clearly the trial of Thruvision in the LA Subway has proven to be successful hence the purchase at the LA airport. Employee screening may prove to be a big growth area for Thruvision. The narcotics purchase for foreign governments is interesting as well. I have to believe Thurvision is being considered for border security globally.

Question answered - this article (at the very end) references this fix will be ready in June.

https://www.foxnews.com/travel/tsa-new-full-body-scanners-add-privacy-filter

"TSA is expecting the privacy filter software updates to be available for the scanners in June. The agency will then determine how and when the scanning technology will be implemented at airports."

Further clarification on this issue per this article:

https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-tsa-body-scanner-20190429-story.html

“A piece of narrowly drawn legislation from several years ago created a requirement that all people-screening technologies used at U.S. airport checkpoints have a privacy filter regardless of the image displayed,”

I have to assume this is an easy fix to create a generic avatar and then just show the image of where there is an item detected.

This is a very telling article that in the US Thruvision is being considered as the next generation body scanning solution in airports. What is interesting is that they have an issue with "privacy" I did not think this was a problem. Regardless, once they get this solved this should bring large orders. This is probably why Thruvision set up a US manufacturing facility.
