"We look forward to working with the Department of Homeland Security and collaborative industry technology partners to deliver this long overdue capability to not only US airports and correction facilities, but also to address a global market," stated Carl Cagliarini, Chief Strategy Officer of Plyrotech. "Our engineers and scientists will be working closely with the DHS to provide faster, convenient, and effective footwear screening. This project will be managed by our Plyrotech Labs unit that works specifically on R&D based projects funded by future grants, offset funding, and industrial partnerships," concluded Cagliarini.
