Interest in High-Tech Security Becomes Urgent

Devices include X-ray machine that scans passengers, not luggage

(HealthDay) -- The heightened interest in security devices, prompted by the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, has been a boon to the biomedical technology sector of the beleaguered U.S. stock market, reports ABCNews.com.

Among the many devices sparking interest are a low-energy X-ray machine that looks at passengers rather than luggage, infrared cameras and even radar devices, says this other ABCNews.com story.

In fact, the demand is so great for new security devices that the Biometric Digest publishes a weekly online report on new technology developments.
