Defense Technologies International Corp. Expands Public Weapon Detection System to Include IED (Bomb) Attacks

Las Vegas, Nevada--(Newsfile Corp. - October 24, 2017) - Defense Technologies International Corp. (OTC Pink: DTII) announced today that the company has expanded its public weapon detection system to include the scanning of improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

An IED attack is the use of a "homemade" bomb and/or destructive device to destroy, incapacitate, harass, or distract. IEDs are used by criminals, vandals, terrorists, suicide bombers, and insurgents.

"Because they are improvised, IEDs come in many forms, ranging from a small pipe bomb to a sophisticated device capable of causing massive damage and loss of life. IEDs can be carried or delivered in a vehicle; carried, placed, or thrown by a person; delivered in a package; or concealed on the roadside," stated Defense Technologies International CEO Merrill W. Moses.

IEDs consist of a variety of components that include an initiator, switch, main charge, power source, and a container. IEDs may be surrounded by or packed with additional materials or "enhancements" such as nails, or metal fragments designed to increase the amount of shrapnel propelled by the explosion. Enhancements may also include other elements such as hazardous materials. An IED can be initiated by a variety of methods depending on the intended target.

Unlike other scanners that are used in public facilities, the Passive Security Scan does NOT use X-rays to detect threats. The "Passive Security Scan" technology is based on the 'Earth Magnetic Fields' has no emission whatsoever and is therefore extremely safe and harmless to the person passing through our portal.

 "Serious health concerns have been raised over the repeated exposure to X-rays from other scanning machines currently in use. We believe that our Passive Security Scan is the best solution to help protect individuals from harmful attacks," added Moses.

The Company's 'Passive Security Scan' scanning system allows for detecting and identifying concealed threats such as guns, IEDs, knives, and other contraband.  Defense Technologies International weapons detection systems are designed for use at schools, theatres, office buildings, hotels, airports, and restaurants.
