bioterrorismand a provider of counter terrorism training and solutions,
announced
todaythat it presented its bacterial spore detection technology portfolio to
theU.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC) Biosensor Team. The
purpose of the meeting was for UDTT and the Army Biosensor Team to
evaluatepotential collaboration and funding opportunities.

ECBC develops and tests systems to enhance the ability of military personnel
and
civilian emergency responders to detect and identify chemical/biological warfare
agents and contaminants. Development efforts are constantly improving and
refining these capabilities. ECBC activities span the life cycle of chemical and
biological defense research and product development.

working with the Biosensor Team to customize our proprietary bacterial spore
detection technology to the Army's Biodetection needs," he added.

UDTT's BSM-2000 combines a bioaerosol capture device with a simple and
robustchemical test for bacterial spores that is completely automated. We
proposeto use the BSM-2000 as a front-end monitor to the Biohazard Detection
System (BDS)
or any other Secondary monitor with the promise of drastically reducing the
recurring
operating costs for anthrax screening at postal facilities and any other
facility where bio-terrorism is of concern.

Early Wednesday morning, authorities at the Port of Long Beach in California
investigated a cargo container marked with graffiti saying "Anthrax a gift from
Osama." Long Beach Fire Battalion Chief Frank Hayes said a truck hauling the
container was stopped at a terminal around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday because of the
spray-painted graffiti.

The truck driver told authorities the container was picked up in nearby
Wilmington and was empty. The container was moved to an isolated area of the
port for inspection and hazardous materials crews wearing oxygen tanks and
protective suits have opened it. Authorities say there are no evacuations
and terminal operations are continuing.

On a separate occasion on March 31st, a jihadist website posted instructions
on
making deadly anthrax for biological weapons. The website disclosed illustrated
instructions and included additional links and promised to provide
information on a delivery system in the future, a Cessna airplane.
